In 1995, Carilion hired Cathy Fulton to help the company find new physicians.
She was allowed to collect a fee for each new recruit, plus expenses.
According to the government's information, Fulton and Teresa Duggan submitted more than 170 phony invoices in a little over a year.
They're now scheduled to plead guilty to fraud and conspiracy in federal court Friday.[(toss to R)]
