A podiatrist who lives in Nanuet has been stripped of his license to practice by the state after he was convicted of felony health care fraud, according to court records.
Alan S. Katz, 45, of Yorkshire Court surrendered his license to practice podiatry, according to the state Department of Education.
Katz practiced podiatry with Citywide Foot Care in New York City.
He was convicted in February 2004 on one felony count of health care fraud and one felony count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, to commit health care fraud and to make false statements relating to health care matters, according to state records.
Katz admitted that he "unlawfully, willfully and knowingly" devised a scheme to defraud health care programs and that he had received payment from health insurance companies after submitting false and misleading claims, according to records.
Katz was licensed to practice podiatry in New York in 1986.
