AG Accuses Rochester Hills Doctor Of Running Criminal Enterprise

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A Rochester Hills doctor has been accused by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel of running a criminal enterprise.

Dr. Madhu Subnani, 69, of Rochester Hills, was arraigned Friday before 71A District Court Magistrate Michael Delling on three counts of delivery of controlled substances, two counts of placing misleading or inaccurate information into a patient chart and one count of conducting a criminal enterprise — a 20-year felony, Nessel said.

“I am grateful for the work Michigan State Police investigators put into this case, and for their continued partnership in enforcing our state’s laws,” Nessel said. “We must ensure that Michigan’s rules are being followed, particularly when violations may negatively impact the health and welfare of our residents and communities.”

In November 2019, the Michigan State Police Diversion Investigation Unit received a tip that Subnani’s patients were prescribed controlled substances they did not need, according to Nessel's office. MSP began an investigation into the licensed doctor’s prescribing activities by conducting a number of undercover visits to Subnani’s practice at Complete Family Healthcare in Imlay City, Nessel said.

From December 2019 through June of 2020, investigators engaged in a series of video-recorded undercover appointments with Subnani, seeking controlled substances outside the scope of a legitimate medical purpose, Nessel said.

On at least a dozen occasions during this time, Subnani violated the controlled substances act by writing prescriptions that did not have a legitimate medical purpose, Nessel said. Subnani entered false notations in the patient records that would legitimize the prescriptions written, Nessel said.

Subnani is scheduled for a probable cause conference at 9:45 a.m. Oct. 23.
