ROCHESTER, MI – Victims of Oakland County oncologist Farid Fata’s crimes and family members of patients who died while under his care will share their unfathomable stories of misdiagnosis and overtreatment during an exclusive joint interview with NBC “Dateline” program to be aired at 8 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday.

Reported and hosted by ‘NBC Nightly News” and “Dateline” anchor Lester Holt, the program “Do No Harm,” explores what is regarded as one of the most egregious Medicare fraud cases in U.S. history.

The NBC program takes viewers inside Fata’s web of lies that took years to expose, featuring Holt’s extensive conversations with individuals who were involved in the case and instrumental in unraveling Fata’s scheme: former patient Monica Flagg, whistleblower George Karadsheh, Dr. Soe Maunglay, Oncology Nurse Angela Swantek, and U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade.

Fata, 50, billed Medicare and insurance companies for an estimated $34 million in fraudulent claims by recommending chemotherapy and other costly treatments for people who did not have cancer, and over-medicating patients who did have the disease. Prosecutors said he violated more than 550 patients’ trust and raked in more than $17 million in fraudulent profits.
