Nearly a Dozen Ex-NFL Players Federally Charged With Health Care, Wire Fraud - DoJ
The US Department of Justice is accusing at least 10 former National Football League (NFL) athletes of carrying out a deliberate scheme to defraud the organization’s health care reimbursement plan for former athletes.
Almost a dozen former NFL players were charged on Thursday in the Eastern District of Kentucky for allegedly participating in a nationwide fraud scheme targeting the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan - which provides ex-athletes of the league, their spouses and dependants with up to $350,000 in tax-free refunds for out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by their insurance.
