Dr. Randy Rosen and his girlfriend, Liza Vismanos, were accused of administering unnecessary drugs and procedures to patients at sober-living homes.
A Beverly Hills surgeon and his girlfriend have pleaded guilty in an insurance fraud scheme that involved recruiting patients at Southern California sober-living homes to undergo unnecessary surgeries and other procedures.
Randy Rosen ran Wellness Wave, a surgical center in Beverly Hills, and his girlfriend, Liza Vismanos, owned Lotus Laboratories, a toxicology lab in Los Alamitos. Prosecutors said they billed health insurance companies some $676 million for medical procedures and tests and, according to court documents obtained by the Orange County Register.
Rosen pleaded guilty last week to several counts of submitting fraudulent insurance claims with an aggravated white-collar-crime enhancement, while scores of other charges were dismissed, the Register reported Monday. He faces 10 years behind bars, but will get credit for two years he has already served.
