Employee Terminated for Violation of Company Policy Related to Health Care Fraud Scheme

Gladys Perez, Coach Cleaner, Los Angeles, California, was terminated from employment on December 5, 2019, following an administrative hearing for violating company policy. Our investigation found that Perez participated in a health care fraud scheme in which Amtrak’s health care plan was billed for acupuncture and other services that were not actually provided. On October 10, 2019, Perez signed a pretrial diversion letter agreement, which was accepted in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, wherein she admitted to committing two counts of health care fraud in furtherance of the scheme to defraud the company’s health plan.
