COAL GROVE, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Two local business are currently being raided for what the investigators on the scene tell WSAZ.com is a multi-million dollar billing fraud investigation.
40 local, state and federal agencies are involved in a raid at Dr. Peter Tsai's Medical Office and the Watkins-Tsai Imaging Center in Coal Grove. Click here to find out more!
The two businesses are located just off US 52 at the Coal Grove exit on Marion Pike.
Investigators tell WSAZ.com this is a multi-million dollar state and federal billing fraud investigation.
Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless tells WSAZ.com that Dr. Peter Tsai's parents own the imaging center next door to his office. He tells WSAZ.com that they are believed to be responsible for more cat scans since 2008 than any other office in the nation.
Lawless also tells WSAZ.com that some patients have received 120 to 140 cat scans in a two-year time frame.
We have a crew on the scene. Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.
So the Department of Defense now investigates medical billing fraud?
What, was the Department of Education SWAT team too busy to handle this one?
For a second I thought it said Carl Rove office raided.
Maybe they were billing the military.
In this case, CAT must stand for "Corruption At Tsai's"...
The only reason I can figure the DoD is involved is because it might be TriCare related?
That's a lot of monkeys on that football.
I hope not... But it’s hard to say in this day and age...
Maybe they were providing VA services and bilking the military.

“So the Department of Defense now investigates medical billing fraud?”
If they defrauded TriCare....
But the Feds better not just targat Pubbie donors....
They must look like fried eggs by now......................
Just the tip of the iceburg. I would venture to say that a majority of the medical billing to the gubmint has fraud in it. Also all those nice hospice services. Check them out... they are the worst. They hide behind serving the terminally ill and bilk the gubmint out of millions.
Like anyone knows where Coral Grove is...
That would be my guess.
Yes, this is very odd indeed.
A private business would have caught this after the 2nd or third repetitive bill.
Our underpayed Federal employees figured it out after 120+.
Not raided by DOD, but was probably fraud in billing DOD Tri-Care
