A New York chiropractor who allegedly continued to submit claims for treating a patient four years after he stopped treatments was arrested for insurance fraud.

According to the New York State Insurance Department, Dr. Richard Nebiosini, of Medford, was arrested following an investigation by the department’s Frauds Bureau, the New York State Worker’s Compensation Board’s Office of the Fraud Inspector General and the Suffolk County DA’s office.

Investigators allege Nebiosini provided chiropractic treatments to the patient for 10 years until 2004. However, they said that he submitted 96 fraudulent claims totaling $3,201 to CNA Insurance from 2004 until May 2008 for treatments that were never rendered. Investigators said the false claims were discovered when the insurance company contacted the former patient to verify whether she was still being treated.

If convicted, the doctor could be sentenced to up to four years in prison.
