What Is Prescription Fraud?
Prescription fraud involves the illegal acquisition or distribution of prescription medications. This can encompass a variety of activities, including:
- Forging or altering prescriptions
- Impersonating medical staff to obtain prescriptions
- Using stolen prescription pads
- Doctor shopping to acquire multiple prescriptions
- Illegally selling or distributing prescription medications
Being convicted of prescription fraud carries significant penalties that can drastically affect one’s personal and professional life. Convictions often include substantial fines, potentially amounting to thousands of dollars. Incarceration is another possibility, and sentences can vary widely, with some offenses resulting in years of imprisonment. Healthcare professionals convicted of prescription fraud may face disciplinary actions, including the revocation of medical licenses, thereby ending their careers. And for doctors, pharmacists, and patients alike, a conviction will result in a criminal record, which can hinder future employment opportunities and impact personal reputation.
