Beginning in 2017, Dr. Evans unlawfully prescribed approximately 370,000 dosage units of hydrocodone without a legitimate medical purpose.
According to the report, he pre-signed prescriptions for patients exhibiting drug-seeking behavior, who were then only seen by his four nurse practitioners. The NPs saw 20-30 patients a day, and their pay was based on a percentage of what they billed instead of a set salary.
Dr. Evans pleaded guilty in September 2022 to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and healthcare fraud.
