CEO of Parsons clinic, wife charged with insurance fraud

PARSONS, Tenn. (AP) – Authorities say the CEO of a Parsons clinic and his wife have been charged with insurance fraud related to a state health care coverage program for children.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says James and Kimberly Inman turned themselves in Tuesday after being indicted by a grand jury in Decatur County. They were later released on their recognizance.

TBI says Kimberly Inman worked as a nurse practitioner at the Family Clinic, where her husband was CEO.

According to the TBI, agents learned the Inmans submitted an application using false income amounts to obtain insurance for their children through the Tennessee CoverKids program, for which they were not qualified.
