The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says the owner of a former addiction recovery clinic in Spring Hill, Tennessee has been arrested for TennCare Fraud, Drug Fraud and ID Theft.
During the course of the investigation, TBI agents developed information that from February 2019 through February 2021, 37-year-old Lindsay Erin Chelette, the owner/ manager of the Harpeth Recovery Clinic, frequently used the credentials of other doctors to write, submit and receive prescriptions for a family member. The investigation also revealed that Chelette submitted claims for service to a TennCare-managed care company for a patient who was deceased at the time services were allegedly rendered. Harpeth Recovery Clinic operated as an opioid addiction recovery out-patient clinic without proper licensure. The clinic is no longer open.
On February 15th, the Williamson County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Lindsay Erin Chelette (DOB 05/25/1983) with two counts of TennCare Fraud, six counts of Prescription Drug Fraud, six counts of Identity Theft, and six counts of Forgery. She was arrested Friday and booked into the Williamson County Jail on a $22,500 bond. (Photo courtesy TBI)
