Dr. Claribel Kohchet Chua Tan, 60, and Daniel Tan Tan, 69, are also accused of deceptive acts involving injections given to hundreds of patients.
Updated: 15 minutes agoAn Anchorage medical doctor and her husband are facing federal charges accusing them of more than $10 million in health care fraud, tax evasion and instances of injecting patients without specific consent.
Federal prosecutors say the couple submitted false claims that misrepresented the type and dosage of medication as well as the scope of medical services they provided. They are also accused of deceiving patients about the necessity of receiving medications at the clinic. Federal prosecutors say video made with patient consent shows Tan on multiple occasions injecting “a completely different medication” from what she said she administered. One example in the documents says Tan administered a dose of Cimzia, used to treat conditions including Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis, but billed for twice that amount.
“Which again, makes me wonder why the government, if they really thought this was going on, they didn’t intervene sooner?” he said Tuesday. Both Tans, briefly held at the federal courthouse Monday, were released on conditions they surrender their passports, undergo supervision by a federal probation officer, and not leave Alaska without permission. U.S. Magistrate Judge Scott A. Oravec also ordered Dr. Tan not to perform injections on “any other person” as a physician or submit claims to health care benefit programs.
