JAMESTOWN PHARMACIST TO BE SENTENCED JUNE 12 AFTER GUILTY PLEA IN HEALTH CARE FRAUD CASE
Phillip Hall, the pharmacist and owner of Hall Family Pharmacy in Jamestown, Tennessee, is scheduled to be sentenced on June 12, 2026, at 10 a.m. in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee before District Judge Eli J. Richardson. Hall pleaded guilty on February 6, 2026, to Counts 1 through 9 of a federal indictment as part of a plea agreement. He had originally been charged with nine counts of health care fraud and six counts of aggravated identity theft.
According to the U.S. Attorneyβs Office and the Department of Justice, between 2018 and May 2024, Hall allegedly submitted more than $6 million in false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. The charges accused him of billing these programs for prescriptions that were not medically necessary, were never actually dispensed, or were not ordered by a licensed health care provider. He was also accused of using other peopleβs identification without authorization to submit the fraudulent reimbursement claims.
The court accepted Hallβs guilty plea in February 2026, with sentencing recommendations reserved until the hearing this summer.
