ABERDEEN — Two Corinth pharmacists have been sentenced in federal court for conspiring to defraud Medicare and Medicaid out of nearly $800,000, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Mississippi.
Ricky Wayne Quinn, 71, owner and operator of Medical Plaza at Alcorn LLC in Corinth, and John Anthony “Andy” Null, 56, a longtime pharmacist at the business, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud.
Senior U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson sentenced Quinn to 30 months in federal prison. Both Quinn and Null were ordered to pay $786,972.10 in restitution to Medicare.
According to court documents, the two pharmacists submitted claims to Medicare and Medicaid multiple times for the same prescription drug products. Prosecutors said the fraud involved high-reimbursement medications, including diabetic insulin pens, asthma inhalers and psychotropic drugs.
Federal officials said the case was part of the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown and the Trump administration’s National Fraud Enforcement Division initiative.
U.S. Attorney Scott Leary said the case demonstrates the federal government’s focus on prosecuting those who misuse taxpayer funds.
“Defrauding Medicare funds intended for sick Americans is just the type of crime the National Fraud Enforcement Division is calling on us to emphasize,” Leary said. “We must remain diligent to ensure medical dollars go where intended.”
Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said the case reflects a commitment to combating fraud and protecting taxpayer dollars through partnerships between state and federal law enforcement agencies.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Clayton A. Dabbs prosecuted the case.
