They are frauds and their letters are worthless.

Anyone who was cheated by Dr and Mr Mehta or FMG-affordable should read up on the number of cases he and his wife have been involved in go to http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/inq...-index.jsp
Do a search Barry Mehta or Charu Mehta and match up the addresses with FMG affordable.

Be very careful of FMG-affordable. Barry Mehta the director and husband of Dr. Charu Mehta has at least one conviction in the state of Maryland for Medicaid Fraud. They started a nursing home using Dr. Mehta's license and Barry ran it. He then defrauded the state of millions. He was convicted and "BARRED PERMANENTLY" from being in the nursing home business in Maryland. (See the Attorney General's press release link below).

They then started another SCAM (FMG-affordable) to get "easy money" from FMG's.
DO NOT trust these people because they are Indians and you are too. They are greedy, dishonest and unscrupulous. The only thing they care about is getting your money into their pockets.

If you really are interested in stopping the Mehtas and FMG-affordable, then you should complain to the US Gov't (US POST OFFICE) about MAIL FRAUD because ALL TRANSACTIONS USING REGULAR/SURFACE MAIL, eMAILS and COURIOR SERVICES and ORIGINATING or ENDING IN THE US are under the jurisdiction of the POST OFFICE.

START THERE, YOU'LL GET FASTER RESULTS.

to usaforusa

if it's ok to write glowing posts about this person in order to boost their business and their exists positive proof about pass illegal activity by the firms director, why should it not be made public?

i see nothing wrong with letting potential customers know that he was convicted of fraud, because it is public record.

if you don't want that knowledge revealed on this forum, then don't use this forum in the guise of a niave/innocent looking for info to generate publicity. it can backfire as it did in this case.

the truth is the truth.
deal with it.


by the way, i already email the AGs office.

For Immediate Release
October 7, 2002 Contact: Sean Caine, 410-576-6357

COLUMBIA STOCK BROKER PLEADS GUILTY
TO STEALING $125,000 FROM MEDICAID

Attorney General J. Joseph Curran, Jr., announced today that a Columbia stock broker has pled guilty to one count of felony Medicaid fraud for stealing $125,000 from the Maryland Medical Assistance program (Medicaid). Barry Mehta, of the 5500 block of Oakland Mills Road, entered a guilty plea before the Honorable Robert N. Dugan in Baltimore County Circuit Court for his actions while operating Family Home Center (FHC), an adult day care center located at 5550 Baltimore National Pike. FHC provided medical care and rehabilitative services to eligible Medicaid recipients from 1993 until 2000. Mehta will be sentenced on January 8, 2003.

Mehta owned and operated Family Home Center from 1993 to 2000. During the seven year period that his facility was open, Mehta systematically billed the State for clients who were not actually present. The employees of FHC were required by Mehta to take client attendance on a daily basis. As part of that process, they recorded the status of each client. Mehta instructed employees on a daily basis to add an average of two names to the list of present clients. Mehta then used the attendance sheets to complete the invoices that were sent to Medicaid for payment.

One example of the fraudulent billing scheme involved a patient Suniti C., an elderly woman who was enrolled by Mehta after she began living in his house and working as her housekeeper. Suniti was occasionally absent and never attended FHC on weekends. However, Mehta instructed the witness to mark Suniti as present every day that the center was open, regardless of Suniti's presence. Medicaid billing records for Suniti reveal that FHC was paid on 101 occasions for Saturdays, and 10 more on Sundays, resulting in fraudulent proceeds to Mehta in the amount of $6,444.28.

FHC billed the Medicaid program for adult day care services provided to enrolled Medicaid recipients. In return for services provided in accordance with the relevant regulations, Medicaid would pay FHC per patient per day. That rate increased over time, but, during the time covered by the Indictment, from October 1993 to May 2000, the average amount paid per patient per day to FHC was $57.01. Medicaid regulations require that a provider bill only for services that are actually provided to eligible recipients. The amount of fraudulent billings submitted by Mehta totaled $125,000.

CPM Corporation, a company controlled by Mehta and associated with his day care center, also entered a plea of guilty to felony Medicaid fraud, and was sentenced by the court to pay a penalty of $250,000.

NOW YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

My advice, don't pay anyone for an externship.
If you want to be in a private setting, you don't have to pay for that privilege, believe me. There are plenty of doctors that will be HAPPY to have you WORK in their office for FREE for three months.
They will do it because, it won't cost them anything and it will cut down on their workload.

If you want a hospital setting, go to FREIDA Online Search, get email addresses / phone numbers of programs and start emailing / phoning.

Just get the phone book and start calling.

Good Luck
Gotta go work and earn some money so I can afford to move for my residency.

I did this because these creeps turn up this time every year when FMGs are clamoring for externships.

They flood this forum with their phoney ads in the form of "innocent questions" and most of the people asking about fmgaffordable are plants who work for them.

Dear dsamal,

It is important people know about them. Now is the peak season - match period. It is during and after this period that they make scapegoats of poor IMGs. also, a fresh update about fmg affordable, they ae no longer able to provide any rotation at howard county hospital..as the management of that hospital is fed up with them for illegally bringing in fmg's to that hospital to shadow physicians. So beware of their false publicity.

Dr. Mehta/Mr. Mehta, we are not against you making money but we are against you doing that by false advertisements.

Some of your previous students have reported some disturbing experiences:

1. The externship is more of an observership.
2. The living conditions are not good enough, i.e. heaters are not turned on during the winters and A/Cs are not on during the summer, the inmates are made to clean rooms other than their own, and there are no locks on the doors (security issue).
3. You don't pay other doctor's well enough.
4. You don't have sufficient permissions to have your students visit and work at various hospitals, etc, contrary to what has been advertised on your website.
5. You coerce your students into writing a testimonial. This is done by holding their LORs back.

Having been convicted of fraud, I am sure you don't want to get into that mess again. Someone even with a very low IQ would understand that a good service is the key to good business, especially, if you are doing something like this. If you keep your customers happy, you'll grow in your business but if you continue being cheap and only try to squeeze money and testimonials out of your students, MAKE NO MISTAKE, you'll get your due sooner. It doesn't take a whole lot for a person already convicted of a felony to be indicted again.

OMG again these guys.. one of my friends had really bad experience with them. They are all after money.beleive me ...they charge thousands of dollars for stupid out patient clinic observership which u can get with any american dr office free of charge or if u work as an MA, they will actually pay u. This fmgaffordable director Barry Mehta has tract record of cheating people and he was convicted couple of times by US law authority. You will easily understand how fake they are after seeing their website. This moron comes to forum every year during this time to trap innocent IMGs.

This idea has been inspired by rayment. So credit goes to him/her. I am listing the physicians under whom FMGAFFORDABLE places externs. This list consists of their names and address. I am not putting down phone numbers as I don't want people calling them unnecessarily. Those who are really interested can check the yellow pages for columbia, MD and figure out their phone numbers. The only reason I am doing this is so that the poor IMG's don't have to pay much of a brokerage service to barry mehta. I don't know if these physicans will let you shadow if you are not referred from fmgaffordable, but still it is worth a try. As a matter of fact, many of these people were not happy with Barry. YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY THEM, but it will cost you significantly less than usual. Nothing wrong in trying. If others have the names of other physicans (fmgaffordable, americlerkships, fmgamerica, fmgportal) please pool in.
