Pharmacists Sentenced for Medicare Fraud | Jackson News

Two former pharmacists from Corinth, Mississippi, Ricky Wayne Quinn and John Anthony Null, are behind bars for orchestrating a massive healthcare fraud scheme between 2017 and 2021, submitting fake claims to Medicare and Medicaid for drugs that never reached patients. Quinn received a 30-month federal prison sentence plus three years of supervised release, while Null’s sentencing came earlier in April 2026. Together, they’re ordered to repay nearly $786,972.10 to Mississippi Medicaid — a staggering amount of taxpayer money they tried to steal. The case was a joint effort involving Mississippi’s Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services OIG, and prosecuted by the Northern District of Mississippi U.S. Attorney’s Office. Officials emphasized Mississippi’s zero-tolerance stance on fraud, highlighting the importance of partnerships in delivering justice for the state’s citizens.
