REMARKS

Tinimbang may be known to others as Josephine Cruz Herrara or Florentina Razon.

CAUTION

Tinimband participated in a $45 million fraud scheme, where more than $3,000,000 in monetary and property assets have already been seized.  The scheme involved her son’s home health care companies that paid bribes and kickbacks to obtain Medicare beneficiaries, ignored doctors who refused to certify beneficiaries as being in need of home health care, and falsified medical records to make patients appear sicker than they actually were. 

In April 2016, Tinimbang was charged in a 33-count indictment by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Illinois, on federal charges including conspiracy to commit health care fraud, health care fraud, visa fraud, and money laundering.

If you have any information concerning this case, please reach out DOL-OIG at 1-800-347-3756 or Office of Inspector General - U.S. Department of Labor.
