ST. GEORGE — The first of two St. George business owners accused of bilking insurance companies out of $250 million dollars in a fraudulent prescription claims scheme pleaded guilty to one federal charge filed in U.S. District Court in New York. The second man awaits trial.
David Gary Bishoff, 38, pleaded guilty to one federal felony charge of conspiracy to commit health care fraud at the end of March, according to the plea agreement that was recently unsealed.
The case was filed following an investigation launched by the FBI in 2020, involving Bishoff and a second man, Brycen Kay Millett, 31, also of St. George, who reportedly ran a number of call centers based out of Utah to fraudulently bill private health insurers for telemedicine prescriptions, federal investigators allege.
While the operations were based in the U.S. initially, the defendants later moved the call centers overseas.
