State and Federal Government Accuse Local Psychiatrist of Fraud

From WDEF in Chatanooga, Tennessee

The federal and state governments are working together to get their money back from a local psychiatrist.

They've filed a joint lawsuit against Dr. Gulshan Sultan who has an office in Cleveland.

The suit alleges she made false claims on services to both Medicaid and TennCare.

It says she filed more than 200 bogus claims of face-to-face meetings, and even booked more than 24 hours of services in one day.

Dr. Sultan has previously pleaded guilty to criminal charges of false billing for psychiatric services perfomed by her nurse.
