President Biden recently granted clemency to nearly 1,500 prisoners, including Meera Sachdeva, a Mississippi oncologist convicted of chemotherapy fraud. Sachdeva had been sentenced to 20 years in prison for administering partial doses of cancer treatment while billing patients for the full amount.
In 2012, Sachdeva pleaded guilty to defrauding health insurance providers and Medicare by submitting false claims. She was also ordered to pay $8.2 million in restitution. Prosecutors revealed that between 2007 and 2011, Sachdeva's patients received lower doses of chemotherapy than billed.
