DETROIT (AP) — A judge has set a Nov. 14 deadline for victims to seek compensation in the case of a Detroit-area cancer doctor who put hundreds of patients through needless treatments.
The federal government seized roughly $12 million from Farid Fata. Anyone who was a patient between 2005 and 2013 can file a claim for out-of-pocket expenses, such as co-payments and deductibles.
This is also an opportunity for families to seek a portion of funeral expenses for patients who died. A claim form and more information can be found at www.fataclaims.com.
In 2014, Fata pleaded guilty to fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. The government identified 553 victims, along with insurance companies.
Fata is serving a 45-year prison sentence.
