Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – In a shocking case of medical malfeasance, Jennifer Dismukes, D.O., has agreed to pay $60,000.00 to settle civil penalty claims stemming from allegations that she violated the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 and the regulations promulgated under that Act, announced Mark A. Yancey, United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma.
Dr. Dismukes, formerly residing and practicing medicine in Texas, provided medical services to Texas patients, as well as Oklahoma patients who traveled to her office in Texas. She then moved her main medical practice to New Jersey and transferred her DEA registration. After moving to New Jersey, she continued to see patients in Texas and began providing medical services to Oklahoma patients by telemedicine.
The United States alleges that between January 1, 2013, and March 8, 2016, Dr. Dismukes issued prescriptions for Schedule II, III, and IV controlled substances for patients in Oklahoma without proper authority because she was not licensed to practice medicine in Oklahoma and did not have required DEA or Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics registrations. In addition, Dr. Dismukes issued prescriptions for Schedule II, III, and IV controlled substances for patients in Texas without proper authority because she did not have a DEA registration for Texas.
In order to resolve the allegations brought by the United States, Dr. Dismukes agreed to pay $60,000.00. This agreement allows the parties to avoid the delay, expense, inconvenience, and uncertainty involved in litigating the case.
Dr. Jennifer Dismukes is the defendant in this case. The exact criminal charges against her are violations of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 and the regulations promulgated under that Act. The city and state involved in this case are Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The alleged crime took place between January 1, 2013, and March 8, 2016.
Dr. Dismukes has agreed to pay $60,000.00 to settle the allegations. This outcome was reached without Dr. Dismukes admitting liability, and the government did not make any concessions regarding the legitimacy of the claims.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Agency, Office of Diversion Investigation, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ronald R. Gallegos. The United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma has announced the settlement, which highlights the importance of proper medical regulation and the consequences of violating federal laws.
