E.R. employee indicted for identity theft and fraud

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A former Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital employee has been indicted for identity theft and fraud.

Investigators started looking at Fannie Randolph, 52, in late 2013 and was fired a short time later.

Randolph worked in the emergency room where she reportedly used patient information to, “illegally obtain controlled substances and, in some instances, utilized the TennCare benefits of the patients to pay for the fraudulent prescriptions.”

Randolph is also accused of forging the signatures of physicians to get prescription medications.

Randolph is charged with eight counts of identity theft and six counts of TennCare Fraud.
