Faces of Greed –

July 3, 2020 – A Beverly Hills surgeon, his girlfriend and four others were charged in connection with an elaborate scheme, paying patients at Southern California sober living homes to undergo medically unnecessary surgeries, medical testing and other procedures to bilk insurance companies out of nearly $52 million, officials said Friday.

In announcing the charges, the Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer called the defendants “real-life Frankensteins.”

Dr. Randy Rosen, 57, has been charged with 88 counts in two separate cases involving the recruitment and hiring of numerous “body brokers” to find and pay patients to have medically unnecessary implant surgeries and cortisone shots.
