Prosecutors allege the 37-year-old woman committed the fraud while she was working as a certified medical assistant at Swedish Medical Center from November 2018 to December 2019.
According to prosecutors, the medical assistant targeted two groups: patients aged 70-90 and younger women who resembled her.
The suspect was arrested in 2019, and prosecutors have since filed felony charges against her for first-degree identity theft, second-degree identity theft and motor vehicle theft. The Washington State Department of Health has initiated a separate disciplinary case against her.
After failing to appear in court for her arraignment, a Snohomish County Superior Court judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest in December, which appears to be active, according to The Everett Herald.
