Dr. Randy Rosen is charged with 88 felony counts in two criminal cases in Orange County.
Court documents show Rosen, 57, and his 41-year-old girlfriend, Liza Vismanos, used so-called body brokers to find and pay sober living facility patients to complete medical visits that were then billed to insurance companies. Among the procedures were cortisone injections and implants of naltrexone, a drug that can reduce cravings for opioids and alcohol.
The pair and four others are connected with the $52-million scheme, according to the district attorney’s office. About $12 million was kicked back to the body brokers, whom prosecutors called “junkie hunters,” and a smaller portion was given to each individual who was treated. Rosen bragged on texts about pocketing $18,400 for a single injection, records show.
