oceanLet this be a HUGE warning to all you dental mill dentists out there, trying to meet those production goals for your bonus – you are the low hanging fruit – you will be the one charged with fraud.

 

An Oklahoma City dentist has been charged in a complaint of committing health care fraud

Oklahoma City dentist Robin Lockwood, 44, has been charged in a complaint of committing health care fraud at Ocean Dental.

FROM STAFF REPORTS | Published: June 21, 2012

An Oklahoma City dentist has been charged with committing health care fraud, authorities announced Wednesday.

Robin Lockwood, 44, is accused of defrauding Medicaid by submitting claims for dental services she didn't provide, according to a news release issued by U.S. Attorney Sandford Coats.

The news release states the fraud occurred from July 2007 through December 2010 while Lockwood was employed by Ocean Dental, 1610 SW 74. The clinic provides dental care to Medicaid-eligible children and submits claims for reimbursement to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. The dentists are reimbursed based on the treatment notes they write for each patient.

Lockwood was charged on a complaint that she submitted notes about treatments she hadn't done. Relying on Lockwood's treatment notes, Ocean Dental submitted claims for reimbursement to Medicaid and paid her a percentage of those reimbursements.

If convicted, Lockwood faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The list above reflects even the part time dentists.  Good!  You just can't play with trash without getting dirty, can you?

In the first case above, CJ-2010-1632, Douglas Durst, DDS has been removed without prejudice, at the request of the plaintiff in fact.  However, as of today,  Dr. Douglas Durst remains on the case filed in February 2011. 

There have been two other Medical Malpractice lawsuits naming Dr. Mathew A. Berg in Oklahoma- CJ-2009-10685 with Charles Goodwin, DDS and CJ-2009-01390 in connection with Dr. Paul Esau and New Smiles, PLLC.   I think this makes Dr. Mathew Arnold Berg the wining Small Smiles dentists with 4.
