This case was the result of a two month long investigation into prescription fraud and health insurance abuse by Karasek. Ms. Karasek works in the medical billing field and handled billing for multiple doctors’ offices. Using her position Karasek located names and insurance information for multiple patients. She would then make or forge printed prescriptions for Oxycodone and other drugs and then pass these prescriptions at pharmacies located in and around Maryland. Investigators have determined that since the spring of 2014 Karasek has illegally obtained over 10,000 Oxycodone and other prescription pills and used the health insurance of the victims to pay for them. The street value of these pills is approximately $50,000.00.
