Tennessee pharmacist accused of healthcare fraud, identity theft - khqa.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A Tennessee pharmacist was accused of submitting false claims totaling more than $6 million since 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

The DOJ in a news release said 48-year-old Philip Hall, of Jamestown, was the owner, operator, and registered agent of Hall Family Pharmacy, Inc., which has locations in Jamestown and Clarkrange, Tennessee.

As the pharmacist-in-charge, the DOJ said Hall submitted false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and Blue Cross Blue Shield for prescription drugs that were not medically needed, not actually dispensed, or not ordered by a doctor. The DOJ said the false claims totaled more than $6 million.

Hall, according to the DOJ, also used the ID of others without their authorization to obtain reimbursement for claims submitted to a healthcare benefit program. He allegedly also used the proceeds for personal use.

Hall is facing nine counts of health care fraud and six counts aggravated identity theft.
