July 9, 2019 – Kyle Ryan Marcotte, 36, of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Toomey of the Middle District of Florida to a one-count information charging him with conspiracy to commit money laundering. As part of his guilty plea, Marcotte agreed to a forfeiture judgment of $10,220,281.42. Sentencing before U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan of the Middle District of Florida has not yet been scheduled. According to admissions made as part of his guilty plea, Marcotte was the owner of a substance abuse treatment facility in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. In approximately 2015, Marcotte entered into an arrangement with a laboratory owner to send urine samples for the facilityโs patients to the ownerโs lab for urine drug testing (UDT), in exchange for receiving 40 percent of the insurance reimbursements. The lab owner, in turn, arranged with the managers of CampbelltonโGraceville Hospital (CGH) and Regional General Hospital Williston (RGH), rural hospitals in Florida, to have the testing billed to private insurers through CGH and RGH and reimbursed at favorable rates under the hospitalsโ in-network contracts with insurers. Marcotte also admitted that he brokered deals with other substance abuse treatment centers to have their UDTs billed through CGH and RGH in exchange for Marcotte receiving 10 percent of the insurance reimbursements, while the other substance abuse facilities would receive 30 percent of the insurance reimbursements.
