Daily News | Montco dentists implanted unapproved medical devices as part of a multimillion-dollar criminal enterprise, feds say
Meanwhile, he brought on brothers Arun, to oversee financial affairs for the businesses and Niranjan, a fellow dentist to help him expand his core dental businesses into an empire.
Among other crimes alleged in the indictment, the Savanis are accused of relying on uncredentialed dentists to treat patients in violation of Medicaid rules. When authorities would catch on to the scheme and cancel Medicaid contracts with one Savani company, they’d have an employee open another — running it in name only — to land those contracts again, according to the indictment.
The brothers recruited workers from India and elsewhere for jobs in the U.S. through a program meant to hire employees with specialized skills such as scientists, programmers, researchers, and analysts. Still, some of the Savani companies’ research efforts were legitimate — including those at Fort Washington-based Osseolink USA, which starting in 2017 began developing a new kind of synthetic tooth implant for use in patients.
