A Louisville pharmacist who fraudulently billed healthcare benefit plans for $188,157 in unfilled prescriptions will serve 9 months in prison and 2 years of supervised release after pleading guilty in federal court. The US Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration found that — between November 2015 and December 2018 — Gary Green of Louisville participated in a fraudulent scheme to bill Anthem and other healthcare benefit programs for pain cream prescriptions that were never filled. Green submitted fraudulent billings using national provider identifier numbers of two physicians without their authorization. As a result, Anthem and other healthcare benefit programs paid $188,157 relating to the fraudulent billings.
