Edmonton Dr. Yifei Shi who over\u002Dbilled Alberta Health for more than $800,000 in a single year has been sentenced to four years in prison.
Beginning in 2016, however, Shi began billing the government for in-office psychiatric treatment for nearly every patient, regardless of the actual treatment she provided.Article content
This allowed Shi, who is in her 30s, to bring home more than four times of what an average family physician makes. In 2016, Shi billed $1.38 million, at a time when the average general practitioner in Alberta was billing about $306,000 annually. In 2016, Shi claimed 216 days of work, of which — according to her billings — 208 were taken up providing at least eight hours of psychiatric treatment.
The Crown said this had trickle-down effects on patients, who were often “confused and upset” when they learned their family doctor was under investigation.
