An Arlington doctor pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to a conspiracy charge in what government officials say was a $60 million scheme to defraud Medicare.
Dr. Charles R. Leach, 66, is one of 16 defendants in the criminal case involving Novus Health Services and Optim Health Services, collectively known as Novus. The Frisco-based company was one of the largest hospice providers in North Texas before it shut down in late 2015.
