A Massachusetts doctor has been indicted on 41 charges including illegally prescribing oxycodone and other drugs--for no legitimate medical purpose and in some cases despite patients' documented history of substance abuse--and making false Medicaid claims, according to a report from MassLive. Fernando Jayma, M.D., 73, was indicted Monday in Hampden Superior Court. "We trust physicians to be responsible with their care and treatment of patients," Attorney General Maura Healey said. "Dr. Jayma allegedly violated that trust by writing medically unnecessary prescriptions for opioids to people with documented substance abuse problems. Our office will continue to combat the opioid epidemic in our state from all angles, including prosecuting those who are prescribing these drugs illegally and recklessly." The Department of Public Health is working with local health officials to ensure that patients of Jayma are referred for proper care and treatment by other medical professionals, Healey's office said.
