The Gabrieles were accused of falsely diagnosing cataracts and other disorders in patients and often performing unnecessary surgeries, according to a report from WSBT 2 in South Bend, Ind. The Gabrieles also faced allegations that they fraudulently billed Medicare, Indiana Medicaid and other private insurers and altered patient charts to make it appear as though the false diagnoses had been correct.
The indictment came after a two-year investigation of the Gabrieles.
