OKLAHOMA CITY – A doctor pleaded guilty to obtain- ing prescription opioids by fraud and identity theft.
David Quy, 62, of Oklahoma City practiced as a Doctor of Osteopathy at Family Medicine Center from 2014 until May 2019.
The first count charges Quy obtained 40 tablets of the opioid Oxycodone by authorizing a prescription in the name of one of his employees and causing that employee to fill the prescription and return the tablets to him. The second count charges him with using the employee’s identity on April 4, 2019, to obtain additional Oxycodone for his own use.
Quy pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Charles B. Goodwin to two counts: obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and using another person’s identity without lawful authority to commit the offense of dispensing controlled substances illegally.
He faces up to four years in prison on the first count, one year of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. On the second count, he could be imprisoned up to five years, serve an additional three years on supervised release and be subject to a $250,000 fine.
Quy has agreed in a plea agreement to pay a fine of $50,000. He has also agreed to surrender any license related to the provision of health care and not to apply for any health-care license for two years after sentencing.
