APP.COM - Insurance fraud nets podiatrist 3 years | Asbury Park Press Online: "A former Freehold podiatrist was sentenced to three years in prison Friday for fraudulently attempting to obtain more than $85,000 in disability payments, according to Attorney General Stuart Rabner and Criminal Justice Director Gregory A. Paw.
Jonathan B. Siegel, 47, of Freehold was sentenced to three years by Superior Court Judge Anthony J. Mellaci Jr. in Monmouth County.
Siegel was ordered to pay $33,574 in restitution to Unum Life Insurance Company of North America, representing the total amount he was overpaid as a result of the fraud, according to state Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Greta Gooden Brown. The sentence followed Siegel's guilty plea to attempted theft by deception, a charge contained in a March 6, 2006, Monmouth County grand jury indictment.
At his Oct. 11 hearing before Mellaci, Siegel admitted that between January 1998 and September 2001, he fraudulently attempted to obtain more than $85,000 in disability insurance benefits from the Unum Life Insurance Company of North America."
