ALEXANDRIA, VA—Peter Sae Lee, 41, of Leesburg, Virginia, pled guilty today to fraudulently billing dental insurance providers for services that he never rendered for hundreds of patients.
Neil H. MacBride, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and James W. McJunkin, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by United States District Judge Liam O’Grady.
Lee pled guilty to health care fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for September 7, 2012.
According court records, Lee practiced dentistry at Leesburg Dental Care in Leesburg, Virginia. From January 2003 through January 2008, he consistently billed dental insurance providers for dental x-rays, fillings, crowns, and other services for hundreds of patients that were never provided. Insurers lost more than $76,000 because of these fraudulent claims, along with an additional $26,000 for reimbursements Lee received for services by his wife, also a dentist, that were fraudulently billed to insurers but were not actually performed.
This investigation was conducted by the FBI’s Washington Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney James P. Gillis is prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.

Hi natalie, Idont have eczema but my uncle suffers very badly and his is not at all related to anxiety or stress.It just gets better when it gets better usually if he has been out in the sunshine quite a bit.I would say that worrying about your eczema is bringing on your anxiety and if your eczema is IS linked to anxiey then the worrying is making it worse and your caught in a cycle.It sounds easy to say i know but if you were to stop stressing about your eczema then you wouldnt have the extra anxiety and then not trigger off the eczema.From what i have learned from this site anxiety has a mind of its own and comes regardless and goes regardless of what we do.I also think the same will apply to your eczema although my uncle has always been advised to get plenty of sun and when he is abroad it does clear up.It may be if you have been outside alot at the festival it is the sunshine that helped and not actually linked to your mood?
