A Hamilton County woman is being charged with six counts of TennCare fraud involving doctor shopping.
The woman, Ashley Brooke Weaver, 34, allegedly used TennCare to go to multiple providers in order to obtain Adderall.
“Doctor shopping with TennCare is a big mistake, because state tax dollars are being used to pay for drugs intended for distribution or abuse,” Inspector General Manny Tyndall said. “We appreciate and value the hard work of the healthcare providers across the state and their efforts in helping us develop these cases.”
District Attorney General Neal Pinkston is prosecuting. TennCare fraud is a Class D felony punishable by up to four years in prison per charge.
