Overview
- Dr. Faddi S. Salim, 37, who appeared for a probable cause conference Thursday, is charged with one criminal-enterprise count and 131 counts of Medicaid fraud.
- Prosecutors allege he repeatedly billed Medicaid for large numbers of dental crowns that were unnecessary or never provided.
- Several patients later learned their yearly Medicaid dental benefits were already used up, which blocked coverage for care they sought afterward.
- He was arraigned March 19 in East Lansing and released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond, with a May 1 hearing set in 54B District Court.
- The Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Division is prosecuting the case and asks former patients to report suspected improper billing at 1-800-24-ABUSE.
