The three are facing a combined total of 135 charges.
Two Midlands doctors and a secretary charged with stealing money under a state-funded public healthcare reimbursement scheme, and with submitting false medical service claims, have been sent forward for trial at Longford Circuit Court.
Doctors Muhammad Azam (59), of The Rocks, Stonepark, Co Longford, and Waqas Farooqi (46), of Belvedere Hills, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, and secretary Gillian McCord (56) of Knockanboy, Co Longford, appeared before Judge Bernadette Owens at Longford District Court this morning, where they were each served with a book of evidence.
The three accused face a combined total of 135 charges, including 20 counts of theft and 22 counts of using false general medical services claims or out-of-hours payment forms.
Those false claims related to 12 different patients at the Primary Care Reimbursement Services, Exit 50, North Road, Finglas, Dublin 11.
Dr Azam faces a total of 48 charges, with Dr Farooqi facing 47 charges, and a total of 42 charges brought against Ms McCord.
It is alleged the trio used false medical documentation to indicate that patients had received medical services.
Dr Azam and Dr Farooqi were also charged with multiple counts of money laundering at locations within the state between October 2017 and December 2019.
Sergeant Gerry Newton gave evidence of having served the book of evidence on the three accused this morning.
All three have been sent forward for trial and will appear before Judge Kenneth Connolly at the next sittings of Longford Circuit Court on Tuesday, July 15 next.
