Violetta Mailyan, 45, of Glendale, was convicted of nine counts of wire fraud and three counts of obstruction of a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mailyan’s operation in the Los Angeles suburb was flagged by the DOJ’s Health Care Fraud Section\u2019s Data Analytics Team. An analysis showed that she had been paid more by Medicare for Botox injections than any other doctor in the United States, making her an extreme outlier among medical providers, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n At the time, Mailyan had been paid more than $24 million over the previous four years \u2014 six times the amount received by the next highest group of providers, all of whom were neurologists.<\/p>\n “Violetta Mailyan falsely diagnosed patients, fraudulently billed Medicare for Botox injections while she was actually on lavish vacations, and tried to trick federal agents with fake records,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald of the Justice Department\u2019s National Fraud Enforcement Division. “The Fraud Division\u2019s data-driven approach shines a light on fraud schemes across the country, ensuring that no doctor can engage in these brazen schemes to steal taxpayer dollars.”<\/p>\n LOS ANGELES HOSPICE FRAUD REACHES BILLIONS AS MEDICARE PROVIDERS SCAM FEDERAL SYSTEM WITH FAKE COMPANIES<\/a><\/p>\n Violetta Mailyan, who owned and operated Healthy Way Medical Center in California, received millions of dollars as part of a Botox fraud scheme, authorities said. (Instagram\/ dr_violetta_mailyan)<\/p>\n In addition to scheming to defraud Medicare, Mailyan altered medical records in an attempt to mislead investigators, authorities said. She owned and operated the Healthy Way Medical Center, which billed Medicare for Botox injections that were medically unnecessary and never actually provided.<\/p>\n This included billing for injections on dates when Mailyan was traveling to Cabo, Mexico<\/a>; Maui, Hawaii; Las Vegas; Pennsylvania; and New York.<\/p>\n Furthermore, some of the injections allegedly took place on dates when the clinic was closed, or when the patient who supposedly received the treatment was actually incarcerated in federal prison.<\/p>\n DR OZ SAYS 800 HOSPICE PROVIDERS SUSPENDED IN CALIFORNIA OVER ALLEGED $1B MEDICARE FRAUD SCHEME<\/a><\/p>\n Dr. Violetta Mailyan allegedly submitted more than $45 million in fraudulent claims to Medicare for Botox injections. (Instagram\/ dr_violetta_mailyan)<\/p>\n Typically, Medicare reimburses medical providers for Botox injections only when they are deemed necessary to treat documented cases of chronic migraines<\/a>. However, Mailyan billed and received payments for thousands of injections that were either never provided, administered solely for cosmetic purposes, or given to patients whose primary care physicians had not referred them for chronic migraine treatment.<\/p>\n On her social media accounts, Mailyan even described herself as a “BOTOX FILLER NONSURGICAL NOSE COSMETIC DOCTOR.”<\/p>\n Prosecutors said that in an effort to conceal the fraud, she fabricated patient medical records\u2014including patient consent forms\u2014to make it appear as if patients received migraine treatments in her office. She was accused of backdating some claims to bill for injections before the patients had even contacted her clinic to request an appointment.<\/p>\n![\"Dr.](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dr-violetta-mailyan-3.jpeg\")
