Mass. man charged for alleged role in NH-based $6.3 million Medicare scheme
Leo Anzivino Jr., 34, of Teaticket, Mass., faces charges of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and money laundering. He pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court. A trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 19.
According to a federal indictment, Anzivino Jr. acted as the straw owner of a durable medical equipment company, Advanced Medical Supply in Rochester and conspired with others to cause the submission of false and fraudulent claims to Medicare between December 2023 and March 2024.
Anzivino and his associates allegedly submitted fraudulent Medicare billings for medical equipment that was medically unnecessary, not covered by Medicare, or never provided. The allegedly fraudulent claims totaled $6.33 million, and the conspirators reportedly received payments from the government totaling $2.85 million.
Anzivino allegedly fraudulently opened a New Hampshire bank account for Advanced Medical Supply, claiming he would maintain exclusive control over it when it was in reality operated by one of his co-conspirators.
Anzivino allegedly transferred the money from the New Hampshire account to a separate account in Massachusetts to try to hide the fact that a different conspirator actually controlled the money, charging documents allege.
In April 2024, the FBI and other federal agencies were seen conducting "court-authorized activity" at Advanced Medical Supply.
Kristen M. Setera, spokesperson for the FBI's Boston Division, confirmed federal agencies responded to the business, but declined to give a reason at the time.
"The FBI and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General are conducting court-authorized activity," Setera wrote in an email.
The government seized approximately $350,000 in assets tied to the alleged scheme.

Trump says economy will ‘rocket' after signing 'big beautiful bill': ‘It's going to be really great'
President Donald Trump on Thursday celebrated Congress' passage of his "big, beautiful bill," describing the sweeping measure as "the biggest bill of its kind ever signed" and promising, "it's going to make this country into a rocket ship. It's going to be really great." Earlier in the day, the House narrowly approved the package by a 218-214 vote after a marathon overnight session on Capitol Hill – the final hurdle after the Senate passed the measure earlier in the week. He noted that only two Republican lawmakers, Reps. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, and Brian Fitzpatrick, of Pennsylvania, voted against the bill. Zero Democrats backed it. "Well, I was disappointed that [Fitzpatrick] did that. There were two of them that voted down, so I was disappointed that he voted no," Trump said. He hailed the outcome as a sign of GOP unity heading into the Independence Day weekend. "When you go over the bill it was very easy to get through the House," Trump URGES HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO IGNORE 'GRANDSTANDERS' AND DELIVER HIS 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' BY JULY 4 Trump touted the bill's broad scope, adding that it provides the "biggest tax cut in history" along with major investments in border security and the military. "Great for security, great on the southern border, immigration is covered, we covered just about everything. Again, it's the biggest bill ever signed of its kind," the president said. "We'll have growth in record numbers," he added. The White House stated that the bill will "create historic economic growth to usher in America's Golden Age." "The bill provides Americans with the largest tax cut in history, paired with a host of other pro-growth policies that will slash our deficits and debt. America is going to take off like a rocket ship!" White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital. The president also previewed a patriotic signing ceremony set for Independence Day. Trump said he will officially sign the bill at the White House on Friday around 5 p.m., with an array of U.S. Air Force jets soaring overhead in celebration. "We're signing at about 5:00 p.m., and at about 5:00 p.m. we're going to have B-2s and F-22s and F-35s flying right over the White House... so we'll be signing with those beautiful planes flying right over our heads," he told reporters on the tarmac.
