A bombshell has dropped in NFL news Thursday morning.
According to the Washington Post, 10 ex-NFL players including Clinton Portis, Joe Horn, Reche Caldwell, Carlos Rogers, and others have been charged with defrauding millions of dollars in medical benefits from the NFL.
According to the report players,
“…allegedly submitted false claims to the Gene Upshaw NFL Player Health Reimbursement Account Plan for reimbursement for medical equipment — such as hyperbaric chambers, cryotherapy machines and ultrasound machines — costing between $40,000 and $50,000.”
Additionally,
“The players filed $3.9 million in false claims, and between June 2017 and December 2018, the health plan paid them more than $3.4 million on those claims.”
This according to court documents.
