The owner of a Florida addiction treatment facility has been convicted of running a $58 million insurance fraud scheme involving excessive drug testing and paying kickbacks to well-insured patients to come to her center. She would then subject the patients, many of whom were in their teens or early 20s and were still on their parents’ insurance plans, to random drug testing — sometimes as often as three times a week — for which she would submit insurance claims.
In all, Beetle submitted $58 million in claims for such tests and received more than $20 million in payments, prosecutors said.A former addict herself, Beetle and her partner, Eric Snyder, founded a substance abuse center, Real Life Recovery, and a pair of sober homes in Delray, Fla., in 2010, at a time when southern Florida became a bastion for treatment centers during the height of the opioid epidemic. Delray has sometimes been referred to as the “rehab capital” of America.
