LANSING – Faddi S. Salim, DDS, 37, of Troy, was arraigned in the 54B District Court in East Lansing on March 19 for allegedly conducting a massive Medicaid fraud scheme involving dental crowns, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Salim has been charged with one count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise, a 20-year felony, and 131 counts of Medicaid fraud, each a felony punishable by up to four years’ incarceration and/or a fine of up to $50,000.

It is alleged Salim repeatedly billed the taxpayer-funded Medicaid program for placing large numbers of crowns on individual patients that were both unnecessary and never provided. This case came to light partly because some of the patients who allegedly had many crowns billed under their benefits were subsequently told they were not covered for needed treatment because their annual benefits were exhausted.

LUSBY, Md. (WUSA/CNN Newsource/WKRC) — A DoorDash driver in Maryland is being credited with uncovering an alleged case of elder abuse, reports WUSA.

Courtney Seaton was delivering food to a home in Lusby in March when the suspect, 61-year-old Brian Zurmuhlen, answered the door and asked her to come in. Seaton says when Zurmuhlen discovered she had past caregiving experience, he hired her to help with household tasks like groceries, laundry and meals for himself and a woman he called his sister.

"He said I don’t want you to meet my sister just yet. She’s mean. She’s ornery. All we do is fight,” Seaton told WUSA.

Seaton said it didn't take long to see something was very wrong in the home. She described the victim as "skin and bone" and said she appeared extremely hungry. The victim had been locked in a bedroom, which had a foul smell and a potty chair filled with waste.
