Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna Insurance, United Healthcare, Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company, and others, were insurance companies that provided coverage for patients that purportedly sought treatment at North Suburban Chiropractic Clinic Ltd., Advanced Arlington Medical Center, Ltd., and Advanced Arlington Sports Medicine Center, Ltd. g. Defendants IGOR and EGUERT, as well as North Suburban Chiropractic Clinic Ltd., Advanced Arlington Medical Center, Ltd., and Advanced Arlington Sports Medicine Center, Ltd., were required to submit certain claim information to the insurance companies for reimbursement for covered 2

Required claim information included the claimant s name; his/her insurance number; his/her date of birth; the health-care services provided; the location where the health-care benefits were provided; the name of the doctor or chiropractor providing the health-care benefits; and the charge for each health-care benefit provided. h. The insurance companies paid for services that were covered by a patient s insurance policy and for which a representation had been made that the services were actually provided to patients. i. The insurance companies paid approved claims for covered services either by check sent by United States mail or by electronic direct deposit. 2. Beginning no later than 2003, and continuing through in or about January 2014, at Buffalo Grove and Deerfield, in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, and elsewhere, IGOR, EGUERT, IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, defendants herein, together with Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L., G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others, devised, intended to devise, and participated in a scheme to defraud insurance companies providing health-care benefits, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna Insurance, United Healthcare, and Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company, and to obtain money and property by means of 3

materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, and by concealment of material facts, which scheme is further described in the following paragraphs. 3. It was part of the scheme that defendants IGOR, EGUERT, IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, together with Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L., G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others, fraudulently obtained at least approximately $2,980,000 from insurance companies by submitting, and causing to be submitted, fraudulent claims for payment to the insurance companies that falsely represented that certain health-care services were provided to patients, knowing that those services were not actually provided. 4. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, together with Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L., G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others, were purported patients of defendants IGOR and EGUERT, and allowed their identifying information, including their insurance information, to be used by defendants IGOR and EGUERT and others in order to submit claims to insurance companies for health-care services that were not actually provided. 5. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR, EGUERT, IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, together with Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L., G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others, created sign-in sheets that falsely 4

represented that purported patients were physically present and received healthcare services on certain dates from defendants IGOR and EGUERT, when, in fact, defendants knew that the services had not been provided to patients on the dates indicated on the sign-in sheets. 6. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR, EGUERT, and IGOR created, and caused to be created, claims forms submitted to insurance companies and medical records that falsely represented that patients received health-care benefits on certain dates when, in fact, they knew that the health-care benefits had not been provided to patients. 7. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR and EGUERT typically deposited, and caused to be deposited, the money they received from the insurance companies for services that were not actually provided into bank accounts they controlled in the names of North Suburban Chiropractic Clinic Ltd., Advanced Arlington Medical Center, Ltd., and Advanced Arlington Sports Medicine Center, Ltd. 8. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR and EGUERT compensated defendants DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, as well as Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L., G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others the purported patients for their participation in submitting claims to insurance companies for services that were not rendered to them. Defendants IGOR and EGUERT typically paid defendants DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, as 5

well as Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L, G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others, a portion of the money paid by insurance companies for services that were not rendered, or arranged to have their yearly insurance deductibles satisfied. 9. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR and EGUERT often wrote checks written on bank accounts held in the names of North Suburban Chiropractic Clinic Ltd., Advanced Arlington Medical Center, Ltd., and Advanced Arlington Sports Medicine Center, Ltd. to pay defendants DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, as well as Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L, T.M., N.M., and others, their portion of the fraud proceeds paid by insurance companies for services that were not rendered. 10. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR and EGUERT maintained, and caused to be maintained, on a computer located in their shared office, spreadsheets that tracked the false claims submitted to the insurance companies and calculated the split between defendants IGOR and EGUERT and the purported patients, including defendants DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, as well as Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L, T.M., N.M., and others. 11. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR and EGUERT instructed the purported patients, including defendants DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, as well as Co-Schemers O.A., S.L., G.M., T.M., and others, to lie when asked about the services provided by defendants IGOR and EGUERT and the 6

purpose of the money they received from defendants IGOR and EGUERT. 12. It was further part of the scheme that defendants IGOR, EGUERT, IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY did misrepresent, conceal, hide, and cause to be misrepresented, concealed, and hidden, the purposes of and acts done in furtherance of this scheme. 13. As a result of this scheme, defendants IGOR and EGUERT fraudulently obtained and converted to their own use in excess of at least approximately $2,980,000 in payments from the insurance companies, which they at times split with defendants IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, VERA SMOLYANSKY, as well as Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L., G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others. 14. On or about the dates set forth below, at Buffalo Grove, in the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, and elsewhere, IGOR, EGUERT, IGOR, DMITRI KONOVOLOV, MARICELA HERNANDEZ, and VERA SMOLYANSKY, defendants herein, together with Co-Schemers O.A., Z.B., S.L, G.M., T.M., N.M., L.T., and others, for the purpose of executing the scheme, knowingly caused to be delivered by United States mail, according to the direction thereon, envelopes 7

addressed to the purported patients and North Suburban Chiropractic Clinic Ltd., Advanced Arlington Medical Center, Ltd., and Advanced Arlington Sports Medicine Center, Ltd., in Illinois, containing checks to reimburse such purported patients and the companies controlled by defendants IGOR and EGUERT for health-care services that defendants IGOR and EGUERT never actually provided: COUNT DEFENDANTS MAILING DATE PAID AMT.
