The owner pleaded guilty to criminal charges and admitted that for years she submitted claims to private health insurance plans for counseling sessions that she never provided and submitted claims for patients when they had actually been out of the country, had terminated their relationship with the counseling center, or had never visited the counseling center. The owner faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or two times the financial gain or loss resulting from the crime, whichever is greater.
