Nicole Polus and Chareise Raugust, two employees of a dental practice in Kennewick, Washington, were accused of executing a scheme involving at least 167 forged prescriptions, with Raugust’s fiancé also implicated. Collusion between dental employees — particularly those involved in prescription management — can enable large-scale fraud that individual controls would be less likely to detect, and the involvement of a third party outside the practice compounds the exposure further.
