(WSB Radio) A Marietta chiropractor has been indicted on charges of fraud and money laundering.

A federal grand jury handed up 18 counts against 47 year old Dr. William Stearns.  Prosecutors say in 2004 Stearns and two other chiropractors ran three metro Atlanta clinics under the name Comprehensive Care Medical Group. 

They're accused of fraudulently billing Blue Cross/Blue Shield for $3 million for two back pain procedures.

The other two defendants have already pleaded guilty to the federal charges.

    Between (allegedly, cough, cough) not paying back chiropractic school student loans and fraudulent billing, it is certainly the good "Life."
