An Anchorage doctor has been sentenced to federal prison for her role in a multi-million-dollar health care fraud and tax evasion scheme, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
The doctor and her husband operated a medical clinic in Anchorage and carried out a long-running scheme that generated more than $12.5 million through fraudulent billing and practices, while also evading over $4 million in federal taxes, according to federal prosecutors.
Court documents show the scheme involved billing insurers for medications that were not properly administered, including using incorrect, expired, or misrepresented drugs during treatments.
The couple previously pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges, including health care fraud and tax violations.
Federal officials said the sentencing reflects the seriousness of the offenses, which spanned several years and involved deception of both patients and insurers.
The case is part of ongoing federal efforts to combat large-scale health care fraud and financial crimes across Alaska and the United States.
