Mission doctor convicted of misdiagnosing thousands of patients seeking to have sentence vacated
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Jorge Zamora-Quezada, a rheumatologist from Mission, TX, convicted of misdiagnosing thousands of patients in a $240 million healthcare fraud scheme, is seeking to vacate his sentence. After serving one year of a ten-year sentence, he filed a motion on July 1, arguing that new medical evidence shows the government’s claims were incorrect. He contends that modern diagnostic criteria support his patients' diagnoses of rheumatism and related autoimmune diseases. Additionally, the Texas Medical Board cleared him of wrongdoing. Zamora-Quezada is requesting a new trial if his conviction is not vacated. Prosecutors have 45 days to respond to his motion.
