Pharmacist Accused of Fraud, Identity Theft

Philip Hall has been charged with nine counts of health care fraud and six counts of aggravated identity theft. He was a licensed pharmacist and the owner, operator, and registered agent of Hall Family Pharmacy Inc. Prosecutors say he submitted false claims for prescriptions for drugs that were medically unnecessary, not actually dispensed, or were not ordered by a physician or other health care provider. He allegedly used the identification of other people without their authorization to obtain reimbursement for claims. See a story from WVLT and read a Department of Justic press release.
