As part of the plea agreement, Thorn's chiropractic license will be suspended and he must make restitution to the insurance carrier in the amount of $7,700, said Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne J. Forrest. Sentencing is set for Dec. 4.
In February 2008, the prosecutor's office Insurance Fraud Unit received a referral from the New Jersey Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor about an an anonymous tip of possible insurance fraud, Forrest said.
The investigation found that Thorn's main clientele were employees from Wegman's and he often went into the grocery store to offer his services to employees, Forrest said.
