Each one-hour episode profiles some of the most intense and unbelievable true-life cases of medical fraud. These frauds not only scam people for money, but also can leave their victims psychologically scarred, traumatized and sometimes dead. MFI: MEDICAL FRAUD INVESTIGATORS presents real-life stories designed to raise awareness of medical fraud cases and alert viewers to recognize that anyone can be a victim of these dangerous schemes.
“Medical fraud has been under the non-fiction television radar screen for a long time,” stated LMNO Executive Producer Eric Schotz. “The topic is extremely compelling and the cases we cover show the medical, emotional and financial pain created. In 2003 alone, the Federal government won or negotiated more than $1.8 billion in judgments and settlements in health care fraud matters.”
MFI: MEDICAL FRAUD INVESTIGATORS stories are told through interviews with victims, witnesses and the investigative teams from law enforcement agencies that worked each case. Dramatic re-creations, news footage and actual undercover footage are used to chronicle the crimes and the investigations undertaken to "crack" these complex cases.
Some of the cases viewers will witness include the story of a well-versed con man who poses as a world-renowned physician and offers terminally ill patients a drug cocktail he calls “immustim,” claiming that $40,000 and weeks of IV treatments could cure cancer, AIDS and a number of other diseases; a highly respected nurse who injected her patients with the heart stimulant epinephrine, causing cardiac arrest because she enjoyed the thrill of creating a medical emergency; and an account of a massive undercover sting operation set up by the FBI to catch illegitimate medical supply companies who were trying to convince doctors and clinics to prescribe unnecessary equipment to be billed to Medicaid.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
