[quote=Anonymous][quote]As of Monday, the I-Team has heard from 128 Maryland residents who said they received 1,354 unwanted boxes of COVID tests. Medicare pays about $96 per box, meaning taxpayers are forking over $129,984 for tests people never wanted or ordered.

The 11 News I-Team first broke the story on May 23 of two Maryland residents who received COVID-19 tests in the mail that they never asked for with Medicare paying the bill of $6,200.

The number of people kept growing. Just three days later, 66 people reported to the I-Team fraudulent fees amounting to more than $57,000 in taxpayer money.

The I-Team has also learned the U.S. Department of Justice has criminally charged two people in Florida for conspiring to defraud the United States, accusing them of illegally using peoples' Medicare numbers to purchase and send them COVID-19 tests they never requested.[/quote]
