Dr. Song would allegedly accept $100 in cash for each prescription, which were distributed without patient history or examination. Dr. Song would allegedly accept orders via telephone, meeting prescription purchasers in a restaurant parking for the exchange.  

If convicted of second-degree distribution of a controlled substance, Dr. Song would face five to 10 years in state prison and a criminal fine of up to $150,000.
