A Pullman dentist will serve 90 days in the Latah County Jail after being convicted of intentionally submitting false claims to Idaho Medicaid for dental work he did not provide.
Alfred Fairbanks, 69, was sentenced to five years in prison, but Latah County 2nd District Judge John R. Stegner suspended the prison time and instead handed down a sentence of three months in jail and five years probation. Fairbanks was convicted in January on four counts of felony provider fraud, according to the Idaho Attorney General’s Office, which prosecuted the case.
