Bucks Co. Doctor Forged Prescriptions, Faked Disability: DA

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — A Bucks County doctor has been charged in connection with two separate investigations into forged prescriptions and a faked disability claim, the Bucks County District Attorney said.

Dr. Gregory Grabon, 43, is charged with insurance fraud, forgery, identity theft, theft by deception, and violations of the Controlled Substances Act. He was taken into custody Friday by the Quakertown Police Department, Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office.

According to officials, Grabon submitted a disability claim in July 2019 indicating he had become totally disabled due to "many physical ailments." Grabon forged a doctor’s verification form and the signature of another doctor, information provided by the Bucks County District Attorney said.

Grabon was arrested in November for an unrelated theft, and at that time, Quakertown and Bucks County investigators found that the doctor had been prescribing Ambien for himself.

According to the DA, several of the prescription forms Grabon used were used by medical providers at St. Luke’s Hospital in Quakertown or Rehabilitation Associates of Malvern. Grabon did not work at either facility and admitted he had the St. Luke’s prescription forms printed himself, officials said. .
