NASHVILLE – Today, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced the conviction of 42-year-old Amanda Allen (Gilreath) of Maryville, Tennessee, for one count of theft of services in activities that constitute TennCare Fraud.

The Knox County District Attorney General Charme P. Allen prosecuted Allen’s case.
“Between April 3, 2020, and June 10, 2020, Ms. Allen visited five different hospitals and received pain medication from each,” said Inspector General Chad D. Holman. “Receiving pain medications from different providers within 30 days and without disclosure of those previous prescriptions constitutes ‘doctor-shopping’ and will be pursued by our office.”
