Healthcare professionals across the eastern half of the United States, including
doctors, a dentist, a nurse and medical clinic operators, have been charged with
illegally distributing prescriptions for more than 5 million pain pills, federal
authorities said Wednesday.
Fourteen defendants were accused of crimes including illegally obtaining
painkillers for personal use, unnecessarily prescribing painkillers to obtain
Medicare and Medicaid payments, and filling out prescriptions in the names of
current and former hospice patients, the government said.
In one case, a Kentucky dentist was charged with illegally prescribing opioids
to a patient three times in five days, with the patient dying of a morphine
overdose from one prescription, according to the Justice Department. Other
defendants lived or worked in Alabama, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, West Virginia
and Tennessee.
"We will continue to bring coordinated enforcement actions to address the opioid
scourge plaguing the region," said Kenneth Parker, U.S. Attorney for the
Southern District of Ohio.
Overdose deaths attributed to opioids have continued to rise in the country,
even as the crisis was overshadowed by the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, for
the first time more than 100,000 Americans died of drug overdoses over a
12-month period.
