Former Tustin hospital CFO pleads guilty in fraud scheme

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Vincent Rubio, the former chief financial officer for Tustin Hospital and Medical Center, was charged two years ago with participating in a multimillion-dollar scheme to defraud Medicare and Medi-Cal. The hospital, according to authorities, paid a skid row center operator and an assistant to recruit homeless people to undergo numerous unnecessary medical tests. The tests ran up thousands of dollars in bills, which were paid by Medicare and Medi-Cal.

Rubio agreed yesterday to plead guilty and to assist authorities with the ongoing investigation, which has taken down four others involved in the scheme, including the skid row operator Estill Mitts. 

Rubio faces up to 15 years in prison and is due in court next month.
