J. Covington finds that the district court properly convicted one defendant of health care fraud, mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and related offenses for her role in a scheme to defraud insurance companies. Sufficient evidence was presented to support defendant's convictions, including evidence that she used individuals' identities to refill prescriptions and knew prescriptions were bogus but made no effort to stop fraudulent conduct at the pharmacy. Another defendant was properly convicted of conspiracy, health care fraud and mail fraud but incorrectly convicted of aggravated identity theft. Defendant misrepresented whether a prescription was medically necessary but did not forge the name of a prescribing doctor or misrepresent who would be receiving the prescription. Affirmed in part.
