All told, medical claims fraud nets insurance fraud criminals about two thirds of the staggering $6.9 billion per year it costs Florida. This insurance crime alone costs each Florida family more than $1,000 per year in higher premiums.

Information was received from numerous insurance companies who received bills for medical treatment that their insureds never received. It was later determined that Alex Neyman, Samuel Hernandez, Luis

Hernandez, and Nelson Vallin were involved in collecting the proceeds from fraudulent medical insurance billing using the names of approximately one hundred and sixty (160) medical providers that did not actually exist. Furthermore, Neyman, Samuel Hernandez, and Luis Hernandez, oftentimes using aliases, obtained major medical insurance for eight shell corporations, and then subsequently billed fraudulently on behalf of the alleged employees.

Investigation by the Florida Division of Insurance Fraud has revealed that approximately nineteen (19) insurance companies received health insurance claims made through the United States Postal Service in 1996 and early 1997, totaling almost $5 million dollars. Of these claims, over $725,000 have been paid to the purported medical providers. The mailing addresses listed on the medical claim forms for these providers were all mail drop facilities, which were rented by Neyman or Samuel Hernandez, using several different aliases.

Nelson Vallin was arrested on February 24, 1998. Active arrest warrants were obtained for the other three subjects, who are at large. The charges include Racketeering, Conspiracy to Commit Racketeering, numerous counts of Grand Theft First Degree, Second Degree, Third Degree and Insurance Fraud.

Luis Hernandez was seen as recently as February, 1998 at a Denny's Restaurant in Southwest Miami. Neyman was last seen in the Miami area in January 1997, and Samuel Hernandez was seen there in February, 1997.
