State sues Lakeville chiropractor for credit card fraud

Posted on August 12, 2009 by Dissent

The Minnesota attorney general is suing a Lakeville chiropractor for fraudulently pushing high-cost credit cards onto patients and pre-billing them for thousands of dollars worth of treatments.

The way the Express Health chiropractic clinic promoted these cards was “especially egregious,” Attorney General Lori Swanson said in a press conference Wednesday. In some instances, the clinic obtained cards without the consent of patients and then placed thousands of dollars of charges on them. In others, the clinic inflated the income figures of low-patients to get them qualified.

“This is the health care version of subprime predatory mortgage lending,” Swanson said.
