Daniel M. Martino is the founder of Martino Consulting and
Investigative Services Inc. and is a highly decorated, 34-year
veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) having
served in Washington, D.C.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Eugene, Oregon; and
Los Angeles, California. Prior to entering the FBI, Mr. Martino
served three years in the United States Marine Corps. Mr.
Martino possesses extensive investigative and managerial
experience in white-collar crime investigations including but
not limited to financial institution fraud related to the
fraudulent acquisition of financial institutions, commercial
banking transactions, embezzlements, defalcations,
counterfeiting, identity theft, and loan transactions. In 1994,
Mr. Martino was the first FBI recipient of an award presented by
the People's Republic of China for his involvement in a
significant investigation involving a foreign currency exchange
fraud and money laundering scheme that targeted China's
financial industry. Mr. Martino subsequently supervised the Los
Angeles FBI Financial Institution Fraud Unit, which encompassed
the Southern California area.
During the period 1996 through 2005, Mr. Martino supervised the
Los Angeles FBI Health Care Fraud (HCF) Program, which was the largest
program of its kind in the United States. Through Mr. Martino's strong
leadership, innovative strategies, dedication, and highly effective teamwork
philosophy, the HCF Program was recognized within the government and
throughout the insurance industry as the model for health care fraud
investigations. Numerous health-care-fraud-crime problems were addressed
simultaneously to protect the interests of the American people and the
insurance industry in terms of health care benefits provided by government-sponsored
programs (such as Medicare and Medicaid) as well as private insurance
programs.
Mr. Martino was instrumental in establishing and spearheading
several health care fraud initiatives, which addressed the following areas:
home health agency
frauds, clinic frauds, durable medical equipment frauds, clinical laboratory
frauds, hospital frauds, personal injury frauds and outpatient surgery
center frauds. These initiatives were developed as a result of a thorough
analysis and assessment of health care industry vulnerabilities and
problems. These proactive methods were highly successful and responded to
emerging issues that threatened the health care delivery system. Additionally,
Mr. Martino successfully developed and supervised one of the largest HCF
undercover operations ever conducted in the United States resulting in 46
convictions and a cost savings of $108 million to the Medicare Trust Fund.
Furthermore, Mr. Martino supervised the FBI's participation in the
investigation of a large-scale hospital provider that recently entered into
a civil settlement agreement in 2006 with the United States government for
$900 million.
In early 2006, Mr. Martino was awarded the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services Inspector General's Integrity Award for his major
contributions in the protection of the Medicare and Medi-Cal Program through
criminal and civil investigations.
Mr. Martino is nationally recognized within the insurance
industry and has made numerous presentations to the public, insurance
industry, and law enforcement professionals concerning health care fraud and
anti-health-care-fraud initiatives. Additionally, Mr. Martino has been
interviewed by numerous media outlets including television, radio, and print
concerning the various problems associated with health care fraud and its
impact on the community.
Mr. Martino strongly believes that a well-focused, energetic,
collaborative effort involving the client and consultant/ investigator is
essential to obtaining a satisfactory result that serves the best
interests of the client.
