A California couple has been charged for running an insurance fraud scheme where they allegedly stole more than 21 patients’ identities and submitted false insurance claims. Rebecca Juarez, 39, and Juan Pablo Rodriguez, 31, both of Irvine, were arrested on two counts of conspiracy, 21 counts of medical insurance fraud and 21 counts of identity fraud. The investigation reportedly showed that Juarez, on behalf of Rodriguez, unlawfully accessed the computerized medical records system of a Mission Viejo medical practice where she worked. Rodriguez reportedly created false medical records for medical testing including COVID tests that were never performed. Rodriguez submitted the records through the San Jose medical practice’s insurance billing system resulting in the submission of fraudulent insurance claims.
