A Miami-Dade medical clinic, Wise Care Corp, is under the lens of suspicion after accusations surfaced of allegedly conducing an insurance fraud scheme. The clinic, tucked away in a business park on Northwest 173rd Drive, became the focus of an investigation following reports of directing patients to seek unnecessary medical treatments while fraudulently billing insurance companies, according to information obtained by NBC6.
The investigation came to light yesterday when officials were seen removing evidence and detaining three women from the clinic, neighbors have been noting its surreptitious activity after it started operations about six months back but now it seems the law caught up with their alleged illicit dealings. Meanwhile, the clinic's website boasts "top tier and comprehensive accident care," catering to victims of car accidents and other personal injuries, as the police probe delves into the disguising of such services as part of the scam that inflates insurance premiums for law-abiding citizens, NBC6.
Concurrently, a raid was conducted by Miami-Dade police at a Hialeah location connected to Wise Care, as reported by CBS News Miami, where further suspicions arose around the staging of automobile accidents across the region. Employees allegedly then channeled the faux victims toward the clinic to claim medical expenses unjustly. The operation saw at least three employees detained for questioning about their involvement in the potential scheme.
The focal point of the investigation remains on the clinic's contribution to the alleged insurance fraud, this particular raid occurred in broad daylight, marked by police tape and the escorting of two employees from the building—their role in the scam, yet to be formally charged, remains under scrutiny as the investigation burrows into the mire of deceit and corruption that plagues honest patrons.
