Video: Another Update on the Healthcare Fraud Case of Dentist Dr. Roy S. Shelburne
Well, this is not exactly what Dr. Shelburne agreed to in writing (consent order) when he surrendered his dental license. He agreed to never contest the findings of fact.
You can read the documents here.
I will let the reader pass judgment on Dr. Shelburne but I cannot help but think this little exercise and the one here are nothing but jury pool spin. His son now owns his former dental practice and Dr. Shelburne senior faces a federal civil trial which might cost him all of the proceeds of such a sale/transfer – and the remainder of his assets.
Also, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Dr. Shelburne will apply to have his dental license reinstated.
Of course, dentists must document their records but the egregious nature of the abuse here is far and way beyond anything I have ever seen or reviewed.

Update on the Case of Dr. Roy S. Shelburne
Dental Economics managing editor Kevin Henry speaks with the Virginia dentist about his arrest, time in prison, recent release, and advice to his peers.Here is a follow-up on the Dr. Roy Shelburne story I covered a couple of years ago.
I agree about record keeping but, we in the dental profession, are taught this at an early age in dental school and is reinforced throughout our careers via continuing education.
Strange, but it seems to me that Dr. Shelburne is not the least bit contrite or remorseful about his dental activity that led to his conviction. Perhaps this is why the Feds pushed so hard for punishment in this case.
Just saying…….
