Norcross Chiropractor Sentenced for Fraud
Stephen Catterton, a chiropractor in Norcross, Georgia, was recently sentenced to prison for health-care fraud and possession with intent to distribute testosterone. According to U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias, Catterton "lied to insurers about what services he was providing to patients, defrauding the insurers of more than $1.2 million."
Catterton was sentenced to three years and one month in prison, and was ordered to make full restitution to all of his victims. Of course, Catterton, and others like him, can never really make full restitution because, as Nahmias explained, "False claims like these . . . lead to higher health care costs for everyone."
