Convicted Fraudster Dr. Quynam P. Nguyen Faces Medical Board Discipline
A Garden Grove physician, who pleaded guilty twice last year to being part of an insurance fraud scheme that authorities say generated $98 million in bills for unnecessary medical treatments, is now the subject of a Medical Board of California accusation.
Dr. Quynam P. Nguyen, who had previously resided in Lake Forest and been in general practice in Long Beach, had an amended accusation filed against his license to practice medicine in California on Jan. 26, according to state records.
He was convicted on June 23 in an insurance fraud case filed in Orange County Superior Court. After pleading guilty, he was sentenced to 270 days in custody and ordered to spend five years on probation and pay $335,500 in restitution.
Nguyen also pleaded guilty on Jan. 23, 2017, to insurance fraud in Riverside County, where the judge gave him the same jail and probation time, which he is serving concurrently with the Orange County punishment.
