Authorities say an acquaintance found the body of 50-year-old Tod Lundberg a little after 6 p.m. Monday. Beatrice Police Lt. Mike Oliver says a crime is not suspected in Lundberg’s death. An autopsy has been ordered.
Lundberg pleaded guilty to one fraud count on Jan. 6 and was scheduled to be sentenced March 2. A plea agreement called for him to pay restitution of nearly $38,000.
Prosecutors say Lundberg billed Nebraska Medicaid for the brand name of certain drugs and then dispensed the generic version of those drugs. Medicaid then paid Lundberg higher prices for the brand-name versions.
Prosecutors say Lundberg carried out his scheme from at least 2010 through 2013.
