Hunt County Theft Reports

A Nevada doctor was found guilty by a federal jury yesterday for participating in a scheme to deceive Medicare and Medicaid, resulting in a loss of nearly $2 million. Based on court records and the evidence presented during the trial, 75-year-old Eduardo Abellana, M.D., from Las Vegas, was discovered to have referred patients he had not treated to City Drugs, a pharmacy located in Detroit, Michigan. These referrals involved prescribing unnecessary medications in exchange for cash kickbacks from the pharmacy's owners.
