The Complete Record: A Completed Legal Matter and an Ongoing Record Accuracy Issue
Anchor article explaining the completed case and the ongoing record accuracy issue in full factual context.
Dr. William F. Elder-Quintana, M.D.
Also known as Billy Elder, William Elder
Dr. Elder was acquitted by a federal jury of conspiracy to commit health care fraud in December 2019. After years of litigation and mounting legal costs, he later entered a plea to a single misdemeanor offense under 42 U.S.C. § 1320d-6 involving wrongful use of a unique health identifier.
The plea was not to felony health care fraud. It resolved a technical statutory violation and brought the criminal case to completion. Dr. Elder completed the sentence imposed by the court, paid restitution in full prior to sentencing, and has since focused on correcting records that continue to describe the matter inaccurately.
