A licensed massage therapist, a physician’s assistant and 14 patients at a massage clinic in Miami have been arrested in an undercover insurance fraud investigation.

Judith Gonzalez is accused of billing insurance companies nearly $250,000 in fraudulent claims and coaching patients on how to commit personal injury protection fraud.

The state Division of Insurance Fraud and the Miami-Dade Public Department’s Public Corruption Investigation Bureau conducted an undercover probe that revealed the scheme.
