Pharmacy Scam

June 24, 2009

A pharmacy technician at Duane Reade was arrested on June 3 for bilking the store out of $67,621, starting in July 2008. Police said that Kavita Bharath, 24, would create a new prescription, sell it and then later refund the money from a drug clerk’s register into a Bank of America account. Bharath, a three-year employee of the 1498 York Ave. store, at East 80th Street, was arrested and charged with grand larceny.

    I would appreciate his technique normally, if I didn't know all about the crisis in our Health system. His case goes to show that pharmacies should keep a better account of who they hire, because obviously this guy wasn't the best people person.
