Three Family Members in North Suburban Chiropractic Group Sentenced to Federal Prison in $10.8 Million Fraud Scheme

CHICAGO — A north suburban chiropractor and his brother and father have been sentenced to federal prison terms in connection with a phony billing scheme that bilked insurance carriers out of more than $10.8 million.

DR. VLADIMIR GORDIN JR., VLADIMIR GORDIN SR., and ALEXSANDER GORDIN, operated Gordin Medical Center S.C., a chiropractic clinic in Wheeling. The trio used the company to falsely bill the carriers for medical services that were either not provided or not medically necessary, and they attempted to cover up the scam by fabricating patients’ medical records. In some cases, patients knew of the overbilling and were incentivized to participate by having their deductibles met at no cost to them, or by sharing in a portion of the overbilling proceeds via checks provided to them by Gordin Jr. and Gordin Sr.

From 2006 to approximately November 2012, Gordin Medical Center and an ultrasound service that was part of the scheme submitted false bills totaling $28,775,000, causing a loss to the five carriers of $10,847,000. The loss includes medical claims administered on behalf of several union health and welfare funds in the Chicago area.
