TRENTON - Attorney General Anne Milgram announced that a Sussex County man and a Bergen County woman have been sentenced for stealing health insurance benefits by falsely claiming they were married.

According to Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Greta Gooden Brown, Andrew J. Dorrothy, 46, of Stockholm, was ordered today by Superior Court Judge Peter Conforti in Sussex County to serve three years probation and to pay $2,600 in restitution. On Aug. 7, Dorrothy’s co-defendant, Lynn M. Mickley also known as Lynn M. Lauber 37, of Ramsey, was ordered to pay $2,600 in restitution to Oxford Health Plans. The sentences were pursuant to their guilty pleas to theft by deception, a charge contained in a May 15, 2007 Sussex County indictment.

At the April 14 guilty plea hearing, Dorrothy and Mickley admitted that between March 1999 and October 2002, Dorrothy fraudulently represented that he was legally married to Mickley so that Mickley would be entitled to dependant spouse health insurance benefits under coverage provided by various insurance companies. They admitted that these false representations were made on various records and forms submitted to Oxford Health Plans, Aetna Insurance Company, and Delta Dental Insurance Company. Dorrothy and Mickley admitted that they were never legally married.

Detective Gregory Pringle, Civil Investigator Carol Seekamp, and Deputy Attorney General Steve Farman were assigned to the investigation for the Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor. Farman represented the Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor at the sentencing.

Insurance Fraud Prosecutor Brown thanked Oxford Health Plans, Aetna Insurance Company, and Delta Dental Insurance Company for their assistance in this matter.

The Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor was established by the Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act of 1998. The Office is the centralized state agency that investigates and prosecutes both civil and criminal insurance fraud, as well as Medicaid fraud.
