LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln pharmacist who pleaded guilty to defrauding Nebraska’s Medicaid program out of $14.4 million has been sentenced to more than nine years in prison.

Prosecutors say 45-year-old Scott Tran submitted hundreds of false claims for a solution used in inhalers for cystic fibrosis patients in the names of his customers’ children.

Documents show Tran submitted 399 claims for reimbursement between May 2009 and February 2015, stating they had been ordered by six Lincoln-area doctors identified only by their initials.

United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Tran to 110 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Tran was also ordered to pay more than $14.4 million in restitution to the Nebraska Health and Human Services Agency.

Tran operated Pharmacy Specialty Services in Lincoln for nearly six years between May 2009 and March 2015.
