Dr. Rajendra Bothra, MD, 77, is the owner and one of six doctors at two clinics in Warren and Eastpoint, Michigan, being unbelievably charged with fraud because patients have to come back for a chronic condition.  This goes to show the frank handing over the controls stick to the DOJ to do whatever they please against innocent citizens with no fear of responsibility.

The government is trying to create crime if a doctor orders appropriate tests or equipment for chronic pain conditions by coming back afterward and stating they were medically unnecessary, ineligible for reimbursement, and therefore fraud.  This is becoming the routine charge now against any doctor who takes government insurance.  They are trying to offset the country’s $985 billion debt by confiscating all the payments made to doctors for the last 5 years. So doctors taking care of government insured or Blue Cross Blue Shield, take note: You are treating these patients for free and you will lose your business through bankruptcy when the government charges and fines you to get their money back.

Dr. Bothra was a 30-year practicing surgeon who, as a Fellow in the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, has been doing interventional pain management exclusively for the last 5 years with expertise in epidural blocks, facet blocks, radiofrequency rhizotomy, and spinal cord stimulation implants, to name a few. The government, through Pub. Law 115-271, is even trying to get doctors to do more of these procedures by providing higher compensation. Is that just a trick to put more doctors in prison for asset forfeiture? Quite possibly. Doctors—BEWARE!!

Dr. Bothra is personally charged with 12 counts of aiding and abetting health care fraud for 12 claims between 2013 and 2018.  Here are the claims he is being charged with:

Please note that they charge what the doctor claims, not what the insurance pays–which is a lot less. So they actually claim back money that they never even paid–making money on these charges.

He is also charged with three counts of aiding and abetting the unlawful distribution of controlled substances for prescribing simple hydrocodone to two patients. One received 90 doses and another received 210 total doses on 2 visits, all under prescribing limits and authority. What? Prescribing opioids? Guess what!  They are a pain clinic!  Lindsay Powell had a hard time understanding how the prosecutors could come up with fake crimes against Enron and Arthur Andersen in her book Licensed to Lie. But, Ms. Powell, this takes the cake.

Now how does this translate into real language?  Basically patients come to an office with chronic pain which the doctor diagnoses through appropriate tests, and then treats. Per the law, patients have to return for refills of their pain medicines. To justify ongoing treatment and again, follow the laws, necessary tests to support the diagnosis and treatment are ordered. And when the claims are paid, the doctors receive their salaries which they take home to use as they personally need.  I think this is called routine medical care in this country.  If the return of a patient for chronic care is criminal, then every medical practice from pediatrics to geriatrics needs to watch out, because you could be next.

The phrasing of the charges is exactly like what the government did against Enron and Arthur Andersen in 2000. America, wake up. Take away immunity from these law-breaking prosecutors, and send a bunch of them to jail.

Here is the scary thing. Take a look at the actual law that is being adulterated to create these false charges:

18 U.S.C. § 1347 – Health care fraud

(a)  Whoever knowingly and willfully executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme or artifice–

(1)  to defraud any health care benefit program;  or
(2)  to obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any health care benefit program, in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items, or services, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.  If the violation results in serious bodily injury (as defined in section 1365 of this title), such person shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both;  and if the violation results in death, such person shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both.

(b)  With respect to violations of this section, a person need not have actual knowledge of this section or specific intent to commit a violation of this section.

So the government is turning this vague law against any physician or clinic that is independent from the REAL fraudulent hospital-owned groups who are literally told to order every test possible, to fund the government coffers and give the DOJ job security. And statute (b) is really scary when it says there is no such thing as mens rea anymore in our justice system. In other words, you can be charged criminally for something you don’t even know is criminal or have the intent of doing something criminal.

Doctors—as of this date, every doctor in the country needs to separate themselves from government insurance and Blue Cross Blue Shield.  If not, you WILL be a target eventually. We need to stand together with this, as a boycott. Medical associations need to jump on this and join together as one to bring this to a halt.

It is also interesting that the government claims that the doctor’s scheme involved getting patients hooked on pain pills and then forcing them to undergo painful procedures if they wanted more. As personally contested by a former patient of this clinic who contacted me, most of the patients seen at this clinic came to them already on pain medication prescribed by former doctors. But, of course, by perpetrating the numbers and false statements in their indictment which then gets spread by the cooperating media, they achieve their goal of tampering with the potential jury pool.

JOIN THE FIGHT AND STOP THESE OUTRAGEOUS ATTACKS!!

Addendum:

Dr. Bothra was acquitted in June, 2022.   But then the government attacked him again through the false claims act and he had to agree to a remuneration to avoid that trial.  After spending 43 months in prison before his acquital, this just shows the chutzpah of the government.

To end these attacks, restore pain management, and provide compensation to all the families that have been destroyed by government overreach, we must get the Controlled Substance Act repealed.  Join Doctorsofcourage to get that done. Learn what we teach and spread the word.  NO DRUG CAUSES ADDICTION!! Let’s end the War on Drugs, Doctors and Pain Patients, end the black market, solve the southern border crisis, and restore proper pain management.  It CAN be done!

Addendum from the author:

I have failed in my mission to end these attacks on doctors and pain patients. Through John Bevere’s book The Bait of Satan, I have figured out why—my lack of forgiveness to those who attacked me. As in Mark 11: 24-26:

“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

And when you do not do the will of the Father, you are estranged from him and he will ignore you.  So we all must forgive the agents who attacked us in order for things to be made right through any of our works.

Jesus said

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”

But we cannot lay down our lives for God unless we know Him well enough to trust Him. We must have the assurance that He would never do anything to harm us. He always looks out for what He knows is in our best interest. As a nation, those of us suffering from these attacks must understand that we are serving as God’s messengers of love.  We must forgive those who persecute us and love them instead, following God’s will for us. Then and only then will we see fruits from our labor.

So I hope that everyone who has suffered from what happened to the doctor can trust the Lord, forgive those who have hurt you, and help bring this country back to the God-fearing country that our forefathers founded. Then, and only then, can you be a part of the effort to stop these attacks. I look forward to that day.
