A would-be after-hours entrepreneur who defrauded nearly $465,000 from Medicare using the provider number of a GP who turned down his job offer has been jailed for three years.
Abdulkadir Ibrahim submitted 3288 false bulk-bill claims in the name of GP Dr Halima Satari when, after a series of interviews, she decided against working for his fledgling deputising service.
