revco medicaid scandal  

Definition

  • The Revco drugstore chain was embroiled in a major scandal in 1977 concerning the filing of false Medicaid claims. The case had broad implications beyond Medicaid fraud because it was one of the first fraud cases to be perpetrated using computers, and it became indicative of the role that computer technology would play in the commission of white-collar crimes over the following decades.
