According to court documents, Beverly Stubblefield and John Teal practiced as clinical psychologists at Nursing Home Psychological Services and Psychological Care Services, both in Slidell, La.
Ms. Stubblefield and Mr. Teal admitted that, while working for NHPS and PCS, they billed billed Medicare for administering medically unnecessary psychological tests to nursing home residents throughout Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi from 2010 to 2015.
