Beverly
Hills dentist Tom Kalili has paid $786,000 in restitution for insurance fraud and failure
to file tax returns, California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones announced
Friday.
Kalili,
59, was arrested in May 2012 after a multi-year investigation by the state
Department of Insurance, the Dental Board and the California Franchise Tax
Board. He owned Beverly Hills Medical Suites.
Investigators
accused him of submitting claims
for services not rendered, mainly involving emergency dental procedures.
Kalili
pleaded no contest and was sentenced to one year in Los Angeles County jail and
five years of probation.
"This
case is a significant success in our fight against healthcare fraud,"
Jones said in a statement. "Not only is there one less bad actor on the
streets, but those who were owed restitution received it."
