JAMESTOWN, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A 41-year-old Fentress Count man has been indicted for "doctor shopping" in Cumberland County.
TennCare officials say Anthony W. Ausmus is charged with four counts of fraudulently obtaining the prescription drug MS Contin by going to multiple doctors in a short period of time to get the drug. MS Contin is the generic drug for Morphine.
Ausmus faces up to two years in prison for each of the four TennCare fraud charges.

I called TennCare to report a woman for doctor shopping and selling morphine and oxycontin to my granddaughter and it is still going on.

That's what is wrong with Tenncare, people like him abuse it. My girls are getting ready to be cut off from it. The kids and elderly who need it can't get it, but the drug addicts can.
