SAN DIEGO
A Chula Vista couple admitted Monday to a fraud scheme that targeted pregnant women in Mexico and led to more than $1 million in losses to California’s Medi-Cal system, San Diego federal prosecutors said.
Melissa Alvarez Torres, 33, and Jose Luis Olmos Hernandez, 36, each pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud. They each face up to 20 years in federal prison when they are sentenced in October by U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the San Diego U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
The couple has agreed to pay $1.5 million in restitution to the state and the women. Their defense attorneys declined comment Monday afternoon.
