PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Milwaukie mental health therapist who overbilled the state pleaded no contest Tuesday to a charge of making a false claim.
Adrienne Leigh Isgrigg was sentenced to three years on probation and ordered to pay more than $13,000 in compensation to Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare. She worked at the nonprofit's Milwaukie clinic for 18 months before she was fired in 2013.
The Oregonian reports (http://bit.ly/1CyzXUd ) the 32-year-old can no longer work as Medicaid-funded mental health provider.
Prosecutors say Isgrigg spent hours a day online shopping or using social media. She met for minutes with some clients but billed for hour-long sessions.
