Lately, Ohio's Workers' Compensation has been hit hard by fraud and prescription drug abuse. Gov. Kasich has declared war on prescription drug abuse throughout the state, encouraging various state agencies to use all available resources to curb the growing trend of abuse.
This effort has lead to the raid of Dr. Lundeen's sixteen offices in the state. Dr. Lundeen is responsible for 61 percent of the narcotic pills prescribed by BWC providers with a Scioto County address. See this article for additional information.
Additionally, BWC investigations have lead to twelve fraud convictions in March alone. See Ohio Investigations Result in 12 Work Comp Fraud Convictions in March.
