Couple Faces Healthcare Fraud, Tax Evasion Charges

Doctor Claribel Tan and her husband, Daniel Tan, have pleaded guilty to a massive healthcare fraud and tax evasion scheme. Operating a rheumatology clinic in Anchorage, they defrauded insurance companies and evaded taxes on over four million dollars. The couple falsified medical records, under-dosed patients, and exaggerated treatment times. They also failed to report millions in income and evaded four point two five million dollars in federal income taxes. The Alaska State Medical Board has suspended Doctor Tans license, and the U.S. Attorneys Office has seized ten point four seven million dollars. The Tans have agreed to pay six point three million dollars in restitution and forfeit additional funds, plus an extra one point eight million dollars in civil claims. They face up to ten years in prison for healthcare fraud and additional penalties for tax-related offenses. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
