The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General and the FBI. The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted in March 2020, manages the Provider Relief Fund, which assigns money for medical providers’ COVID response.
