A woman in north Georgia has been charged with insurance fraud after she claimed that a “personal care device” caused injuries that cost as much as $350,000 to treat.
Kamala Anderson, 45, of Snellville, was arrested last month after the insurance company became suspicious, the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance said. She had filed claims that a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS device, caused severe injuries that were treated at an Atlanta medical facility.
TENS units are often used to provide mild electrical stimulation to promote pain relief and healing.
Investigators with the state insurance office found that the woman had never received care at the facility and the submitted documents had been forged, Commissioner John King said in a statement.
Anderson was arrested by the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office and was released on bond.
