If You Or A Family Member Received Medical Care From Alleged Medicaper Leader Dr. Jacques Roy, Here Are Some People Who Can Help

by Michael Matheron · March 6, 2012

Many families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area may have felt the tender ministrations of a certain Doctor Jacques Roy, and others associated with him. A week ago, he and his alleged cohorts were arrested in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for allegedly masterminding the largest Medicare/Medicaid fraud in history, perhaps 350 million dollars large. For a few examples of what the group is alleged to have done, see the comments section.

Below, in reply to a commenter, I’m publishing what I advised “Anonymous 02”. If you, a family member, or a friend had dealings at any time with Dr. Jacques Roy, perhaps this advice will be helpful and useful way to help the case against him, and to, at a minimum, get rid of a bit of your righteous anger . . .

Here’s my reply:

Dear Anonymous 02, but this might apply to the other comments above you . . .

Sad story, especially considering your parents’ ages. . . Everything you describe seems to be typical of “Doctor” Roy’s way of doing “business.” I would suggest contacting the Department of Justice and he Department Health & Human Services (HHS). HHS has a Stop Medicare Fraud division that was a major player in the indictment of Dr. Roy and his alleged cronies.

Here are ways you can reach them:

1. Call any of these individuals through the main US Attorney’s Office main number: Dallas Office
Contact: Front Desk @ (214) 659-8600. Once there ask to speak to any of the people listed below.

•U.S. Attorney, Ms. Saldaña is in charge of the US Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Texas where the case is being prosecuted. She is a good place to start but don’t be shocked or upset if her assistant forwards your call to an in-house criminal lawyer on the case or to an investigator

•Also, if the first fails try any of these: Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael C. Elliott, Mindy Sauter, or John DeLaGarza of the Northern District of Texas. These three at the Norther Dist. office will be among the actual attorneys prosecuting the case.

I did not find any email addresses at the site, so f you’d rather not call them, here is the address:

Dallas Office
1100 Commerce Street, Third Floor
Dallas, Texas 75242-1699

2. Call, toll free, the Washington D.C. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid’s Office of Inspector General at 1-800-HHS-TIPS

3. It’s also important to get your story on the medical licensing board’s records: contact the Texas Medical Board and file a complaint. Here’s there netsite where you may file a complaint online or by email: http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/consumers/complain/placecomp.php

4. Contact your state and federal legislators, they will be interested and will likely be a helpful source.

5. Finally, I’d suggest seeking the advice of an attorney on your behalf and for your parents’ benefit. Your initial visit should be free of charge, if not, find another lawyer. I think it likely a civil suit for damages against Dr. Roy and the other defendants. If so, it serves all your interests to register your complaints with an attorney as soon as possible. (Note: I’m not an attorney, but at 62 years old I’ve seen and experienced a lot . . .)

I sincerely hope this helps you and that eventually you and your parents get some kind of relief from the horrible treatment you have received.

Best Regards, Mike
