between each othe r , holding la rge quan t i t i e s of cash, and
t r a n s fe r r i n g funds to Armenia through bulk cash smuggling and
informal money t r a ns f e r networks.
e . Members ~ n d as soc ia tes o f the Mirzoyan-
Terd jan ian Organizat ion and t h e i r co-consp i ra to r s a l so took s t eps
to disguise t h e i r income so t ha t it appeared t h a t they were
employees of l eg i t imate companies. For example, MIRZOYAN,
YEPISKOPOSYAN, MURADKHANYAN and othe rs laundered cr imina l funds
through medical l ab o r a to r i e s owned by POGOSIAN so t h a t it would
appear t h a t they were simply consu l t an t s to POGOSIAN's companies.
f . Members and as soc ia tes o f th e Mirzoyan-
Terd jan ian Organ iza t ion and t h e i r co-consp i ra to r s r e l i e d on
ex to r t ion to ob ta in money from t h e i r cr imina l p a r tn e r s . For

ind iv idua l owed to TERDJANIAN. On o r about May 29, 2009

over the deb t a t a Brighton Beach res t au ran t and threa tened to
disembowel t be ind iv idua l if th e deb t was not pa id .
g. Members and as soc ia tes of the Mirzoyan-
Terdjanian Organizat ion used th e backing of Vor KAZARIAN to
re so lve d i spu te s with o t h e r c r imina ls in th e United Sta tes and
overseas . For example, in o r about December 2006, KAZARIAN
t r ave led to New York to a s s i s t AMROYAN and an as soc ia te of
10
8/8/2019 Kazarian, Armen Et Al Indictment
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 11/55
AMROYAN's when a promoter of an overseas inves tment f raud scheme,
who was himself represen ted by a Vor, sought to c o l l e c t $200,000
from AMROYAN's as s o c i a t e . Afte r speaking to the o th e r Vor,
KAZARIAN decreed t ha t th e $200,000 t h a t AMROYAN's as soc ia te was
deemed to owe would be erased .
h. Members and as soc ia tes of the Mirzoyan
Terd jan ian Organizat ion also used ex to r t ion and t h r e a t s o f
violence to insure t ha t the hie ra rchy of the Organizat ion was
main ta ined and t h a t appropr ia te r espec t was afforded to Vor
KAZARIAN. For example, a f t e r KAZARIAN a s s i s t e d AMROYAN in o r
about December 2006 and January 2007 in connect ion with the
$200,000 debt , KAZARIAN demanded a fee of approximate ly $100,000
fo r h is s e rv ice . AMROYAN d id no t pay KAZARIA}T, plead ing pover ty ,
and as a r e s u l t was os t rac ized by o t h e r members and as soc ia tes o£
th e Mirzoyan-Terdjanian Organizat ion . In o r about August 2010,
KAZARIAN d i rec ted AVETISYAN to s e ize a boat t h a t AMROYAN had
purchased desp i te h i s f a i l u re to r e p ~ y KAZARIAN. In ano ther
example, in August 2010 KAZARIAN and AVETISYAN threa tened to
sodomize and k i l l an as soc ia te who had fa i led to show proper
r espec t to KAZARIAN by repea tedly ca l l ing KAZARIAN while drunk.

COUNT TWO
(Heal th Care Fraud Conspiracy)
Th e Grand Jury f u r th e r a l l eg es :
15. The a l lega t ions s e t fo r th in paragraphs 1 through
10 of t h i s Indic tment are r e -a l l eged as if fu l ly s e t fo r th
he re in .
MEDICARE BACKGROUND
16. The Medicare program was es tab l i shed by the Soc ia l
Secur i ty Act o f 1965 to provide medica l serv ices and suppl ies to
qua l i fy ing aged, bl ind , and di sab led ind iv idua l s ( i . e . , the
"benef i c i a r i e s" ) . The Medicare P a r t B program i s a f edera l ly
funded insurance program t h a t provided supplementary Medicare
insurance benef i t s fo r i nd iv idua l s aged s ix ty - f ive or o lder and
c e r t a i n ind iv idua l s who are d isabled . Under t h i s program,
Medicare pays a l a rge percentage of th e cos t fo r medica l se rvices
provided to b e n e f i c i a r i e s fo r which the hea l th care provider had
submit ted a claim. In o rder to b i l l the Medicare program, a
hea l th care prov ide r must complete an enro l lment app l ica t ion and
be approved to pa r t i c ipa t e in th e program. Once approved, the
provider i s able to submit cla ims fo r payment fo r e l ig ib l e
se rvices rendered t o b e n e f i c i a r ie s . The cla im form submit ted by
the Medicare prov ide r requ i re s the provider to s t a t e a diagnosis
of the p a t i e n t ' s condi t ion and i den t i fy th e se rv ice or se rv ice s
rendered .
15
8/8/2019 Kazarian, Armen Et Al Indictment
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 16/55
17. The Medicare program i s designed to pay hea l th
ca re prov iders promptly fo r b i l l ed se rv ice s without , in most
ins tances , requir ing any ve r i f i c a t i on tha t th e b i l l ed se rv ices
were ac tua l ly performed p r i o r to issu ing payments. Susp ic ious
b i l l i n g - such as b i l l s fo r se rv ices not t y p i c a l l y performed by a
phys ic ian of a pa r t i c u l a r spec ia l ty , o r b i l l s fo r p a t i e n t s who
res ide a g r ea t dis tance from th e Medicare provider - i s t y p i c a l l y
inves t iga ted only a f t e r payments fo r se rv ices are made.
18. When a Medicare claim i s submi t ted by a Medicare
prov ide r under the name of a p a r t i c u l a r benef ic ia ry , the
ind iv idua l benef ic ia ry i s no t informed t h a t a claim has been
submi t t ed u n t i l a f t e r it i s processed and in most cases pa id ,
when the i nd iv idua l rece ives by mail an Explanat ion of Benef i t s ,
o r "EOB." Moreover, once a Medicare provider i s approved,
Medicare payments to the provider can beg in immedia te ly ,
inc luding re t roac t ive payments fo r s e rv ices rendered before th e
approval . W i ~ h i n the f i r s t few months fo l lowing approval ,
the re fo re , a Medicare provider may have rece ived hundreds of
thousands of do l l a rs from Medicare withou t any claim having been
s c r u t i n i zed , and with the purpor ted benef i c i a r i e s of the medical
se rv ices u n a ~ a r e of the medical b i l l s .
THE SCHEME TO DEFRAUD MEDICARE
19. From a t l e a s t in o r about 2006 up through and
inc luding the da te of t h i s indictment , members and as soc ia tes of
16
8/8/2019 Kazarian, Armen Et Al Indictment
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 17/55
th e Mirzoyan-Terdjanian Organizat ion , t oge the r with othe rs known
and unknown ( the "Consp i ra to rs") , par t i c ipa ted in a l a r g e - s ca l e ,
nat ionwide scheme to defraud Medicare. The scheme involved a t
l e a s t approximate ly 118 f raudulent Medicare providers , loca ted in
a t l e a s t approximately 25 s t a t e s , t h a t submit ted f raudulent b i l l s
to Medicare o f a t l e a s t approximately $100 mil l ion and t h a t
rece ived a t l e a s t approximately $35.7 mil l ion from Medicare.
20. To ef fec tua te the f raud scheme, th e Consp i ra to rs
crea ted dozens of "phantom c l i n i c s " - hea l th care providers t ha t
ex i s t ed only on paper , t h a t had no docto rs , and t h a t t r e a t e d no
pa t i e n t s . To crea te a "phantom c l i n i c , " th e Consp i ra to rs
t yp i c a l ly engaged in th e fol lowing t a sks :
a . F i r s t l the Consp i ra to rs would s t e a l the i de n t i t y
of a doc to r - i n pa r t i c u l a r , th e doc to r ' s date o f b i r th , s o c i a l
secur i ty number, medical l i cense number, and o ther iden t i fy ing
in fo rmat ion .
b . Second, the Conspirators would f i l e paperwork to
incorpora te a business en t i t y assoc ia t ed with th e s to len i de n t i t y
of the doc to r , without the knowledge o r approva l o f th e docto r .
The Consp i ra to rs would then f i l e an app l ica t ion with Medicare,
cla iming t h a t th e company incorpora ted using the s to len doc to r ' s
i de n t i t y wasa
r e a l hea l th care c l i n i c . Rout ine ly the purported
Medicare prov ider ' s business address l i s t ed on th e Medicare
17
8/8/2019 Kazarian, Armen Et Al Indictment
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 18/55
app l ica t ion was an empty s to re f ron t o r a UPS Store , a Mailboxes
Etc . , o r s imi la r s e rv ice .
c. Third , th e Conspirators would open bank accounts
fo r the c l in i c they had es tab l i shed using th e s to len doc to r ' s
i de n t i t y in order to rece ive payments from Medicare . The bank
accounts were t yp ica l ly opened by ind iv idua l s using othe r
f i c t i t i o u s o r s to len i den t i t i e s , o r using th e names of immigrants
from Armenia and elsewhere who would leave th e United Sta tes
a f t e r opening th e bank accounts .
d. Fourth , the Conspirators would f raudu len t ly ob ta in
thousands of i den t i t i e s - names, addresses , soc ia l secur i ty
numbers, and dates o f b i r t h - of l eg i t imate Medicare rec ip ien t s .
Among the benef i c i a r i e s whose i den t i t i e s were s to len and used by
th e Consp i ra to rs to defraud Medicare were numerous i nd iv idua l s
l i v ing in the Southern Di s t r i c t of New York who were pa t i e n t s of
Orange Regional Medical Center , in Orange County, New York.
21. With these ·s teps complet.ed, the Conspirators were
ab le to defraud Medicare. For each phantom c l i n i c , th e
Conspirators submit ted b i l l s to Medicare fo r s e rv ices a l l eged ly
rendered by a docto r (whose ident i ty had been s to len) to numerous
p a t i e n t s (whose i den t i t i e s had s imi la r ly been s t o l e n ) . The b i l l s
were ent i re ly f i c t i t i o u s . The benef i c i a r i e s never rece ived the
se rv ices and no docto r performed them. In fac t , in some cases
18
8/8/2019 Kazarian, Armen Et Al Indictment
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 19/55
th e benef i c i a r i e s were deceased a t the t ime var ious medical
se rv ices had supposedly been rendered .
22. As se t in paragraph 17 of t h i s indictment r
Medicare t yp i c a l ly pays cla ims pr io r to sc ru t in iz ing t h e i r
v a l i d i t y . AccordinglYr in many cases r Medicare wired hundreds o f
thousands o f do l l a rs fo r th e f i c t i t i ous t rea tments i n to th e bank
accounts as soc ia ted with th e phantom c l in i c s . The Conspirators
then t yp i c a l ly t rans fe r red th e Medicare proceeds from th e bank
accounts where th e funds were i n i t i a l l y received to o ther bank
accounts r and in some cases then still othe r bank accounts r where
th e funds were then withdrawn as cash r i ssued as checks to
ind iv idua l s who cashed them a t check cashing s to res r o r
t r a n s fe r r e d to o ther unt raceable loca t ions . In seve ra l cases r
funds were t r a n s fe r r e d to Armenia by a cour ie r ca r ry ing t ens of
thousands o f d o l l a r s in cash r and through o t h e r means.
23. In many cases r Medicare u l t imate ly detec ted the
f raudu len t natl l re of the phantom c l in i c s r though in some cases
only a f t e r paying out hundreds of thousands of d o l l a r s worth of
c la ims. Detec t ion was poss ib le i n p a r t because th e Conspirators
b i l l e d Medicare fo r se rv ice s in a highly suspic ious manner r
inc luding as fo l lows :
a . The se rv ices b i l l ed were of ten not of the
kind performed by the docto r whose i de n t i t y had been used to
c r ea t e the Medicare provider . For example:
19
8/8/2019 Kazarian, Armen Et Al Indictment
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 20/55
i . the Conspirators used the i de n t i t y of an
ear l nose l and t h r o a t docto r to c rea te a phantom c l i n i c l and
b i l l ed th e Medicare program claiming the doc to r performed
pregnancy ul t rasounds j
ii. the Conspirators used the i de n t i t y of a
forens ic p a th o lo g i s t - i . e . , a docto r who performs autops ies - to
c rea te a phantom c l i n i c l and b i l l ed th e Medicare program fo r
o f f i c e v i s i t s j
iii. the Consp i ra to rs used th e i de n t i t y of an
obs t e t r i c i a n to c rea te a phantom c l i n i c l and b i l l ed th e Medicare
program claiming th e doctor performed a l l e rgy skin t e s t s j
iv . th e Conspirators used th e i de n t i t y of a
dermato log i s t to crea te a phantom c l i n i c , and b i l l ed the Medicare
program claiming the doctor performed h ea r t t e s t s j
v. the Consp i ra to rs used the i de n t i t y of an
optha lmolog i s t to c rea te a phantom c l i n i c r and b i l l ed the
Medicare program c la iming the doc to r performed t e s t s of tne
b ladder j and
v i . the Consp i ra to rs used th e i de n t i t y of a
ps yc h ia t r i s t to c rea te a phantom c l i n i c l and b i l l ed th e Medicare
program claiming the doctor performed MRIs of upper ex t remi t ies .
b. Severa l of th e same r a re (and of ten
expensive) medical se rvices were b i l l ed by d i f f e re n t phantom
c l in i c s s e t up by the Conspirators no mat te r what the t rue
20

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 21/55
s pe c i a l t y of the doc to r whose ident i ty had been s to l en . For
example:
i . th e Conspirators used phantom c l in i c s
crea ted with th e s to len i den t i t i e s of docto rs o f widely varying
pra c t i c e s and b i l l e d Medicare fo r s leep s tud ies (expensive t e s t s
des igned to i den t i fy s leep d iso rder s ) , claiming var ious ly t h a t
th e s tud ies were performed by a genera l surgeon, dermato log i s t ,
i n t e r n i s t , neuro log ica l surgeon, o to la ryno log is t (ear , nose , and
t h roa t doctor) , and family pra c t i t i one r .
ii. th e Conspirators used phantom c l in i c s
crea ted with th e s to len i den t i t i e s of docto rs o f widely vary ing
pra c t i c e s and b i l l ed Medicare fo r nerve t e s t s , claiming va r ious ly
t h a t th e t e s t s were performed by a pa tho log is t , o b s t e t r i c i a n ,
i n t e r n i s t , gas t roen te ro log i s t , and ps yc h ia t r i s t .
iii. the Conspirators used phantom c l in i c s
crea ted with the s to len i den t i t i e s of docto rs o f widely varying
pra c t i c e s and b i l l e d Medicare fo r electromyography t e s t i ng of the

doc to r ) , family pra c t i t i one r , and ps yc h ia t r i s t .
24. The success of the cr imina l ven tu re d id no t depend
on th e success of any pa r t i c u l a r phantom c l i n i c . In con t ras t ,
th e Conspirators recognized t h a t each f raudulent c l i n i c had a
" sh e l f l i f e " of only seve ra l months before it would be detec ted .

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/kazarian-armen-et-al-indictment 22/55
Aware t h a t de tec t ion was inev i tab le , the Conspirators took s t eps
to insure t h a t th e names on phantom c l i n i c bank accounts were
