A psychiatrist who stepped down as the head of the Arkansas State Medical Board in March was raided by the Drug Enforcement Administration Tuesday.
The location and focus of the raid have not been disclosed because the investigation remains active, said the U.S. Attorney’s. However, the doctor’s other legal troubles remain public knowledge.
Dr. Hyatt resigned as head of the Arkansas State Medical Board on March 2, having originally been appointed by then-Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, in January 2019. In April 2022, a whistleblower in the behavioral unit contacted the Arkansas Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The informant alleged that Dr. Hyatt’s billing of Medicaid, Medicare, and health insurance companies was therefore fraudulent. False claims resulting in overpayments of $2,500 or more are a felony offense, Arkansas MFCU investigator Mary Bowen noted.
