ARCHDALE, N.C. -- The department of insurance has arrested a 33-year-old Archdale man for an alleged Medicare scheme.
Investigators say that while Jason Fishel was a licensed agent with Assurance Group Inc., he submitted nearly 300 fraudulent Medicare applications using information from prior clients without their knowledge.
Fishel received advanced commissions on these policies of more than $83,000. He was charged with one count of obtaining property by false pretense.
Fishel was processed Monday at the Randolph County jail under a $100,000 unsecured bond.
