Three Texas Dentists Arrested In Fraud Scheme


McALLEN (June 22, 2010)--Three south Texas dentists and two assistants have been arrested on federal charges stemming from alleged Medicaid fraud and an alleged kickback scheme.

Federal prosecutors say Dr. Gary Schwarz of McAllen billed Medicaid for services not performed and for services performed by unlicensed employees and allege he paid a 15 percent kickback to Mission dentists Willis Egger, 40, and Reynaldo Casares, 53, for referrals of Medicaid patients.

A 22-count indictment that was partially unsealed Tuesday says Renee Thornton, Schwarz's office manager, and Magdalena Garza Cazares, his personal assistant, also have been arrested on fraud charges.

U.S. Magistrate Dorina Ramos ordered all five released on bonds of $100,000 each.
