The arrested individuals owned and/or worked at Advanced Pain and Regenerative Medical Solution Corporation (APRM Solutions), located in Shelton.
An investigation by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit revealed that between February 2024 and October 2025, APRM Solutions engaged in fraudulent billings to the Connecticut Medicaid Program for allergy immunotherapy services. The scheme involved APRM Solutions submitting claims using medical provider’s personal identification numbers, without their permission, to bill for treatments that were either not performed or performed by an unsupervised, unqualified person. The allegations further assert that Kimberly Choszczyk was performing allergy testing, mixing of allergy medicine, and administering of allergy shots without a medical license. APRM Solutions billed 4,009 claims for immunotherapy services that were either not performed or not performed by a physician or qualified person.
The money profited by this conspiracy in the amount of $659,627.66 constitutes the crime of Larceny in the First Degree by Defrauding a Public Community. The submissions of the claims to the Department of Social Services contained false, incomplete, deceptive, or misleading information which constitutes the crime of Health Insurance Fraud. The diagnosis and/or treatment of patients without a license constitutes the crime of Violation of License Requirements.
Larceny in the First Degree by Defrauding a Public Community and Health Insurance Fraud are each classified as B felonies and punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Violation of License Requirements is classified as a D felony and punishable by up to five years in prison.
The defendants were each released on $100,000 bond and are scheduled to appear in Derby Superior Court on May 29, 2026. The charges are merely accusations, and they are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The case was investigated by and will be prosecuted by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The Unit is grateful for the assistance it received in the investigation from the Connecticut Department of Social Services - Office of Quality Assurance and the Shelton Police Department, in particular Detective Christopher Nugent.
