   A Glendale physician is accused of defrauding Medicare by deceitful   
   claims for Botox injections and falsifying medical records, the U.S.   
   Justice Department announced Thursday.   
      
   A federal grand jury has indicted Dr. Violetta Mailyan for submitting   
   more than $45 in fake Medicare claims although the Botox injections were   
   not medically necessary or never provided, according to the DOJ.   
      
   For example, some of the injections were done on dates when Mailyan was   
   traveling internationally or patients were not in the U.S., prosecutors   
   alleged. In other cases, Mailyan filed claims for someone while the   
   person was serving time in federal prison, the DOJ said.   
      
   Mailyan advertised herself to be a “facial aesthetic doctor” and a   
   board-certified physician who specializes in beauty, according to her   
   social media accounts.   
      
   Mailyan was charged with nine counts of wire fraud and three counts of   
   obstructing a criminal investigation of health care offenses.   
      
   If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each   
   wire fraud count and five years in prison on each obstruction count.
