Fraudulent Therapist Sentenced in North Dakota

A North Dakota woman, Christine Pryor, 55, got sentenced to jail time and over $82,000 in restitution after ripping off healthcare providers and Medicaid by stealing the identities of licensed therapists—using their last names and license numbers to fake credentials and land jobs. She worked at Southeast Human Services in Fargo, earning $55K while seeing 150 patients, and ran her own counseling center. Meanwhile, Minnesota prosecutors added six theft and six identity theft charges, alleging she defrauded Medicaid of $150K by billing nearly 170 clients without a license. This is part of a nationwide crackdown on healthcare fraud. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
