An Edinburg doctor was arrested and released Friday on a combined $400,000 in bonds on four charges of Medicaid fraud.
A Hidalgo County grand jury on Thursday indicted 64-year-old Osama Bachir Nahas on accusations he defrauded Texas Medicaid from Jan. 1, 2011, to Jan. 31, 2012.
Nahas, a high managerial agent at Crosspoint Medical Clinic, was previously indicted in May 2017 on two counts of Medicaid fraud on allegations that he and Gerardo “Jerry” Jackson defrauded Texas Medicaid from Jan. 1, 2009, to Feb. 27, 2012, for claims totaling $200,000 or more for physical therapy treatment rendered by someone who was not a licensed physical therapist and without the supervision of a doctor.
