An Anchorage rheumatologist and her husband have pleaded guilty to running a years-long healthcare fraud scheme that prosecutors say brought in more than $12 million and involved lying to patients about what substances they were being injected with, billing insurers for medications they never purchased and evading federal taxes.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Dr. Claribel Tan, 61, and her husband, Daniel Tan, 70, operated a rheumatology clinic in Anchorage and admitted to defrauding health insurance companies and evading more than $4 million in taxes on the profits of the scheme.
