Wis. Dentist Convicted of Breaking Patients' Teeth, Charging Them for Fixes, Then Collecting Insurance Money

Scott Charmoli, 61, was convicted of five counts of health care fraud and two counts of making false statements related to health care matters, said the office in a news release.

"The evidence presented at trial established that Scott Charmoli engaged in a years-long scheme to defraud dental insurance companies into paying for unnecessary crown procedures," added the office.

My mother-in-law would have a dental emergency on a weekend and her dentist would open his office for her, hug her and say how happy he was to see her and then not charge her for the visit. My wife would drive her home and tell me what a hero the dentist was. A year after my mother-in-law died the hero went to jail for Medicare fraud.

Dentist: Don't worry about it, but I am pretty sure you're gonna need some dental work soon.
