\"\"A federal jury convicted two doctors Thursday for their involvement in a urinalysis testing scheme, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The evidence indicated at trial that Dr. William Lawrence Siefert, 69, of Dayton, Ohio, and Dr. Timothy Ehn, 50, of Union, Kentucky, orchestrated their health care fraud scheme through Northern Kentucky Center for Pain Relief, a pain clinic in Florence, Kentucky. Siefert, a medical doctor, was employed by the clinic, and Ehn, a chiropractor, was the clinic\u2019s owner. <\/span><\/p>\n

Siefert and Ehn engaged in a scheme to bill Medicaid for millions of dollars in medically unnecessary urinalysis testing for their patients, which included urinalysis testing purportedly conducted on faulty machinery, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Siefert and Ehn were each convicted of healthcare fraud. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ehn was additionally convicted of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud. Siefert and Ehn are both scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 20. <\/span><\/p>\n

Siefert faces up to 10 years in prison. <\/span>Ehn faces up to 10 years in prison on each healthcare fraud conspiracy and healthcare fraud count.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trial Attorneys Dermot Lynch, Lindsey Carson, and Assistant Chief Lauren Kootman of the Criminal Division\u2019s Fraud Section are prosecuting the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
