Savani & Associates, specifically at the 1500 Horizon Dr # 104, Chalfont, PA 18914 address, was identified as one of several dental practices operating under the umbrella of the "Savani Group." This group, led by brothers Bhaskar, Arun, and Niranjan Savani, faced extensive charges in January 2023 for allegedly operating a complex criminal enterprise. The indictment included charges of
racketeering conspiracy,
healthcare fraud, visa fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud the United States Treasury through false tax returns.
The Savani Group's alleged schemes involved defrauding Medicaid of over $80 million by fraudulently obtaining Medicaid contracts and billing, even after their dental practices were terminated from Medicaid insurance. They also faced accusations of a wire fraud scheme involving false business expenses and failure to report taxable payroll, leading to approximately $2 million in unpaid personal and payroll taxes.
While individual dentists named Savani, such as Dr. Gina Savani (an endodontist) or Dr. Aman Savani (a sleep medicine internist), or even Savani Tax Services (an accounting firm), appear to be legitimate, the "Savani & Associates" entity linked to the Chalfont address was part of the implicated dental network. Dr. Bhaskar M. Savani was specifically listed as affiliated with "
A+ Family dental care" at the Chalfont address. The legal proceedings highlighted a multi-state operation encompassing around 50 dental practices across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Iowa, and South Carolina.
