Staff Members of Missouri Surgery Center Face Federal Fraud Charges

Two staff members at Frontenac (Mo.) Surgery and Spine Care Center were indicted by a federal grand jury this past November on charges of defrauding the ambulatory surgery center, according to a report from Suburban Journals.

 

The ASC's office manager is accused of allegedly using one of the surgery center's accounts to pay multiple credit card bills totaling almost $100,000.

 

The office manager and another employee are also accused of opening a credit card account in the ASC's name and using it to make purchases of more than $1,200, according to the report.

 

Both employees were released on unsecured bond.
