South Bend Tribune - South Bend, Ind.
Date: Oct 3, 2009
A Plymouth child psychologist has received a 13-month federal prison sentence for health care fraud.
Marc Allen Zackheim pleaded guilty to defrauding Indiana Medicaid of $137,000 over three years by fabricating diagnoses and attaching those diagnoses to the medical records of his juvenile patients.
The U.S. attorney for northern Indiana had asked Judge Robert L. Miller Jr. for a 21-month sentence, while Zackheim's attorney, Martin Kus, asked the judge to consider home detention.
Miller fined Zackheim $4,000, and ordered him and his business, Associates in Clinical Psychology P.C., to repay the state the $137,000.
Zackheim must report for prison Dec. 1.
Webmaster's note: Marc Allen Zackheim is the husband of Victoria Fraginals Zackheim, the woman whose fraudulent invention of an ailing child inspired Armistead's novel, The Night Listener.

ReplyDeleteMy cousin was a sincere person. I do know that the government is replete with corruption, deceit and malice. Some people who seek psychological care have issues with reality. Not for a moment do I believe that he was a thief who defrauded the government.
Delete"Insightful" is the perfect word to describe this wonderful writing of yours. The artistic blend of this subject with your tone of writing made this a great read. Much love 😘.
