A 45-year-old woman from Ocoee, Tenn., has been charged with seven felony counts of TennCare fraud after using the program to pay for her multiple doctors' visits and prescriptions.

Melissa Cronan didn't tell her doctors that she'd seen and received the same medications from other doctors in the past month, according to a news release.

"Physicians across the state have taken a central role in cracking down on 'doctor shopping' in TennCare," Inspector General Deborah Y. Faulkner said in the release.
