NASHVILLE (WATE) -- A man and woman from Athens have been charged with TennCare fraud in separate cases.

John V. Davis, 25, is charged with three counts of using TennCare to get controlled substances by doctor shopping.

According to the indictment, Davis failed to disclose to his doctor that he'd seen other doctors within a 30-day period, receiving prescriptions for the painkillers Oxycodone and Hydrocodone.

Investigators say Davis received a prescription for Oxycodone during a visit to a hospital emergency room, which was paid for by TennCare.

They also say Davis used TennCare twice to pay for prescriptions for Hydrocodone.

Kristie Smithers, 31, is charged with three counts of TennCare fraud for using it to pay for fake prescriptions.

Smithers is accused of using TennCare to pay for fake prescriptions written for Hydrocodone three times.

If convicted, each could each spend up to two years per charge in prison.
