According to authorities, Qu is a licensed acupuncturist and resident agent for two businesses, HealthLand LLC in Lowell and Back2Balance in Boston. He advertises services of “Acupuncture, Massage, Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Chi Gong Therapy.” He isn’t a licensed chiropractor or physical therapist and doesn’t employ any at either location, nor does he have a separate message therapist, authorities say. Qu is also said to have provided services out of an office attached to his Medford home.
Qu is accused of submitting insurance claims for services he didn’t provide over a period of about four years. Authorities say that while Qu would provide some services to the victims, such as massage treatments, he would bill insurance companies for dozens of additional treatments, including additional massages and two different types of acupuncture therapy, which had not been provided to the client. In several instances, he allegedly billed insurance companies for work performed by unlicensed practitioners as if he had performed those treatments himself. Qu is alleged to have fraudulently billed $30,145 to various insurance companies for thirteen identified patients.
The case was investigated by the Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts and the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office. The prosecutor assigned to the case is Assistant District Attorney Kristen Noto.
