Corinth, MS - On June 29, Ricky Wayne Quinn was sentenced to 30 months in prison and three years of supervised release for his role in a healthcare fraud scheme. Quinn, along with co-owner John Anthony "Andy" Null, knowingly submitted false claims to Medicare and Medicaid between 2017 and 2021.
The two former pharmacists owned Medical Plaza Pharmacy in Corinth, Mississippi. According to officials, they claimed reimbursement for pharmaceutical drugs that were not given to patients. As a result of their scheme, the pair must pay $786,972.10 in restitution to the Mississippi Division of Medicaid.
This case was investigated by the Mississippi Attorney General's Office and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Mississippi prosecuted the case.
Null received his sentence on April 20, but details about it are not provided in this article. This incident is part of a broader effort to combat healthcare fraud in Mississippi, with officials emphasizing their commitment to fighting waste and corruption.
