Ex-Pennsylvania Pain Clinic Owner Sentenced to 42 Months for Fraud and Theft

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Rodney L. Yentzer, age 55, formerly of Carlisle, Pennsylvania and currently in Chuluota, Florida, was sentenced to 42 months’ imprisonment on charges of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and theft of public money. He was also ordered to pay an additional $2,993,386.19 in restitution after having paid $900,000 toward a civil settlement with the United States in 2022. According to Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, Yentzer previously admitted to defrauding Medicare and the US Department of Health and Human Services between 2016 and 2020 and pleaded guilty to the three offenses for which he was sentenced. Yentzer agreed with others to defraud Medicare by submitting medically unnecessary urine drug tests for chronic opioid patients at medical clinics he controlled, including a group of clinics known as Pain Medicine of York or “PMY” (also known as All Better Wellness).
