CORINTH, Miss. (WLBT) – Two former pharmacists have received their sentences in connection to a healthcare fraud scheme, Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced Monday.
According to officials, between 2017 and 2021, Ricky Wayne Quinn and John Anthony “Andy” Null – both owners of Medical Plaza Pharmacy in Corinth, Mississippi – knowingly submitted false and fraudulent claims to Medicare and Medicaid for pharmaceutical drugs which were not given to patients.
Null received his sentence on April 20, 2026.
On June 29, Quinn was sentenced to 30 months in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and three years of supervised release.
Both Null and Quinn were ordered to pay jointly the full restitution of $786,972.10 to the Mississippi Division of Medicaid.
The Mississippi Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General investigated this case.
The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Mississippi.
“We are sending a clear message that here in Mississippi, we are committed to fighting waste, fraud and corruption,” Fitch said in a statement. “We are grateful for such strong partners at the Office of the Inspector General and U.S. Attorney’s Office. Working together, we are ensuring justice is served on behalf of Mississippi taxpayers.”
