A Benton County doctor is being held on a $50,000 dollar bond after being indicted this week on multiple counts of TennCare fraud.
TBI Public Information Officer Keli McAlister says 72-year-old Dr. Agustin Vitualla was indicted this week by the Benton County Grand Jury on 20 counts of TennCare Fraud.
