JACKSON, Tenn. — A Dyersburg gynecologist has been charged with fraud and improperly prescribing drugs.
A news release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation stated Dr. Debra McKenzie was arrested Tuesday on an indictment handed up Monday by a Dyer County grand jury. McKenzie was charged with one count each of TennCare fraud, insurance fraud and improperly prescribing a controlled substance.
She was released from the Dyer County Jail on $15,000 bond.
The TBI began an investigation after a former employee of McKenzie’s complained. The agency said undercover visits to McKenzie’s clinic obtained narcotic prescriptions without a physical examination. She is also accused of billing TennCare and insurance companies for services not provided.
