The license to practice medicine has been revoked for a Nebraska pharmacist who was found guilty of making a false statement in connection with healthcare services.
In a press release, the office of Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers states that Danelle Charf was found guilty of “making a false, fictitious, and fraudulent statement in connection with healthcare services following criminal action by the United States Attorney’s Office” in federal court last November.
After Charf was found guilty, Hilgers petitioned the Health Licensure Bureau later that month to have his license revoked.

After a hearing, her license was cancelled on April 2. Charf fraudulently billed patients for name-brand prescriptions while running pharmacies in Tilden and Neligh, but the chief medical officer of Nebraska discovered that Charf filled those orders with generic medications.
A $573,337.53 reparation order was placed against Charf by Medicaid and Medicare.
She was also assessed a $5,000 civil fine and is barred from pursuing the reinstatement of her license for a minimum of two years.
