Prescription & Medicaid Fraud Send Doctor to Prison for 2 Years

Dr. Yong Am Park of Lake City, Florida, was sentenced to two years in prison for Medicaid fraud and prescription drug-related charges.  Park also relinquished his medical license.

Undercover investigators conducted a series of visits to Park, who prescribed controlled substances such as oxycodone and hydrocodone outside the course of his professional practice.  Investigators also discovered that Medicaid was paying for many of these illegal prescriptions.

Park was convicted of Medicaid fraud, prescription fraud, unauthorized possession of a prescription form, and selling a controlled substance.

The investigation was conducted by multiple agencies including the Florida Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, the Lake City Police Department, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

If you are under investigation or have been charged with Medicaid or Medicare fraud, or if you have information that your employer is submitting false claims to Medicare or Medicaid, then you should consult with an experienced health care lawyer immediately.  To schedule a free and confidential consultation by telephone or in person, call my office today at (917) 652-6504 or click here to communicate with me via email.
