'It seemed excessive, but I didn't know any better,' one patient said.
A Wisconsin dentist who made millions in an insurance scam by purposefully breaking his patients' teeth with a drill now faces up to 60 years behind bars.
During the court proceedings, prosecutors described the details of Charmoli's scam, which took place at his former practice, Jackson Family Dentistry, from 2015 to 2019. The total number of his procedures ranged anywhere from 700 to 1,000 on a yearly basis. In total, Charmoli ended up fraudulently billing insurance companies more than $4.2 million, the DOJ said.
Beyond scamming the insurance companies themselves, the DOJ said that many of Charmoli's patients also had to pay"significant co-pays" just to have him unknowingly break their teeth. One of these former patients, Todd Tedeschi, testified that he received crowns on two teeth that had not even been hurting him."He was the professional. I just trusted him."
