Webb indictment
A Sevierville doctor and two of his patients have been indicted on TennCare fraud by a Sevier County Grand Jury. In July 2019, state and federal agencies began investigating allegations that Michael C. Webb, a podiatrist, was using his position to fraudulently obtain controlled substances. Agents determined that Webb, 44, doing business as Webb Foot and Ankle Clinic, schemed with some of his patients, writing them fraudulent prescriptions for oxycodone and gabapentin in exchange for keeping a portion of the pills for himself. Carley Stiles Davis, 37, and Christy Anna Stiles, 47, were identified as two of the patients involved. Both women used their TennCare benefits to purchase the pills. In addition, to make the fraudulent prescriptions appear legitimate, Webb presented the Department of Health with false medical records. He also allegedly billed TennCare for services that were not provided. Webb is charged with two counts of TennCare Fraud, four counts of Prescription Drug Fraud, and one count of Tampering with or Fabricating Evidence. Christy Stiles is charged with nineteen counts of TennCare Fraud and one count of Theft of Services. Carley Davis is charged with eight counts of TennCare Fraud and one count of Theft of Services. The indictments stemmed from a joint investigation by Special Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Medicaid Fraud Control Division, the Tennessee Office of Inspector General, the Tennessee Department of Health Division of Health Related Boards, United States Department of Health and Human Services, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
