Dr. George Kooshian, who has twice been sued over subdosing claims and settled both cases out of court, was indicted Wednesday on 25 counts of health-care fraud, three counts of making false statements and one count of conspiracy.

"It's pretty egregious because you are talking about people's health here," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeanie Joseph said of the accusations against Kooshian, 54, who has been ordered to appear in court on August 1.
