A
Brooklyn psychiatrist has been arrested for allegedly scamming Medicaid
out of $230,000 in fake head-shrinking sessions, authorities said
today.
Jean
Elie, 50, also wrote over $1 million worth of prescriptions for
Seroquel, an antipsychotic popular among drug addicts, according to the
state Attorney General’s office.
Investigators believe some of Elie’s clients resold their prescriptions to on the street.
“Crooked
doctors who abuse their position and their privileges do tremendous
harm to their patients,” said state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
“In this case, Dr. Elie also ripped off New York State taxpayers by
billing Medicaid for services he failed to provide.”
The
alleged quack, who operated out of a Bushwick office, was charged with
grand larceny at his arraignment yesterday. He faces 15 years in prison.
