Former Williamson Doctor Files Court Motion
WEST VIRGINIA....
No charges have been filed against Doctor Katherine Hoover or others who worked at the Mountain Medical Care Center in Williamson since authorities raided the clinic in late March. But, authorities are hanging on to at least $436,000, patient records and Hoover's 2007 BMW convertible they seized. Hoover has filed a court motion asking U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Stanley to throw out at least one of the dozen or so search warrants obtained by investigators in the case. Investigators say the clinic handed out pain-drug prescriptions for cash-only fees of at least $150 per visit, and the warrants sought to recoup an estimated $4.6 million from these payments. Hoover, who has lost her license to practice in West Virginia, denies any wrongdoing.
