> It was no joke when the feds showed up Wednesday to arrest a Brooklyn proctologist on Medicare fraud charges at his posh oceanfront condo.

> Dr. Boris Sachakov, who was hauled off in handcuffs, is accused of bilking $3.5 million through phony bills from his Colon and Rectal Care of New York in Brighton Beach.

> The red flags included $60,020 in bills for 85 hemorrhoidectomies Sachakov claimed he had performed on one unfortunate patient in 20 months.

> Sachakov, a solo practitioner, often billed for working more than 24 hours a day, officials said.

> He was supposedly so busy he claimed to have performed 6,593 hemorrhoidectomies and other procedures between February 2009 and January 2010.

> The next busiest proctology clinic in the country billed Medicare for a mere 381 procedures in the same time period, a criminal complaint said.

> Investigators from the Medicare Fraud Strike Force began examining Sachakov’s practice after complaints from patients who said he submitted claims formedical services they did not receive.

> …Sachakov, 41, was released on $500,000 bond. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
