Former New Orleans Saints WR Joe Horn pleaded guilty Thursday to the count of "Conspiracy to Commit Health Care Fraud" as a part of a plea deal related to a group of ex-NFL players allegedly defrauding the league's health care program for its retirees.
Horn was one of 12 players named last week for allegedly submitting false and fraudulent health care claims to be reimbursed for medical equipment that was never purchased.
More than $3.9 million in false and fraudulent claims were submitted and more than $3.4 million was paid out between June 2017 and December 2018.
