A US woman has been sentenced
after a conviction for insurance
fraud and selling prescription
fertility drugs on the internet.
The case followed an
investigation by the US Food and
Drug Administration’s Office of
Criminal Investigations, which
found that Heidi Benham of New
Jersey had been selling the drugs
online, after they had been paid for
by her insurance company.
Benham was sentenced to three
years in prison, as well as the
repayment of more than
US$500,000 to the Blue Cross
insurance company.
Evidence presented in the case
included that she had over a four
year period obtained the drugs for
herself but then sold them at a
profit via online classified
advertisements.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 20 Jul 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 20 Jul 10
