Tri County Hospiral Williston owners, Jerry Gillman and Dr. Nelish Desai bankrupt the hospital, they commit fraud and they will not be held accountable for their illegal acts. Williston Florida
I am one of several shareholders that own Tri County Hospital Williston. I am an owner, shareholder, director and permanent member of the executive board. Below you will find a list of the fraud and illegal acts that have been committed by my business partners and Tri County Hospital Williston owners and officers, Jerry Gillman and Dr. Nelish Desai.
Over the past three years Jerry the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and CMS have documented the hospitals improper and over billing of Medicare patients, quality of care issues, and conditions that place patients at risk.
During the time Jerry Gillman and Nelish Desai have managed Tri County Hospital the hospital debt steadily increased, the quality of care continued to decline, and the patients continued to be placed at risk. Vendors were not paid for their services or the supplies they provided, employees were not paid for their hours worked, the payroll and payroll tax liability grew to over $600,000.00, employees lost their jobs and many were evicted from their homes.
When the hospital could no longer continue to operate, Jerry Gillman illegally sold and traded his personal shares, and the available shares, transferring control of the hospital to Regional Health Partners, a company owned by Dr. Mohammad Tariq and Dr. Jail Khan. Tariq and Khan assumed control of the hospital, its finances and the executive board. Tri County Hospital filed chapter 11 bankruptcy, and Jerry Gillman transferred ownership of all the hospitals assets to Regional Health Partners/ Tariq and Khan.
Jerry Gillman and Nelish Desai have used the management companies they personally own to bill the hospital for management services that were not provided. Their management company has filed a secured creditor claim with the bankruptcy court to obtain payment of the fraudulent management fees. The management fees are 3% of the hospitals total monthly billing, beginning October 1, 2010 – through September 2012. The claim filed by Nelish Desai is $25,000.00 more then the amount he is owed. Jerry Gillman, Nelish Desai, Mohammad Tariq, and Jail Khan have all filed secured creditor claims with the bankruptcy court; they know secured creditor claims are paid before non-secured claims. The majority of the money available to pay creditors will be used to pay their secured claims and the non-secured creditors will most likely get nothing. These four men will walk away with all the hospitals assets and all the money!
Jerry Gillman personally borrowed $50,000.00 from me. This loan was due in full on July 1, 2011. I have not been paid. I have not received full reimbursement for my business expenses and I am still owed for hours worked.
I have been ripped off by Jerry Gillman, Nelish Desai, Dr. Mohammad Tariq and Dr. Jail Khan!

CFO, Miller documented hours worked for individuals who were not employed by the hospital on the dates she billed for their time. These employees were hired weeks later.
