Shabina Fajullah, Calgary doctor accused of fraud

A Calgary doctor has been charged with fraud after sending the province millions of dollars in false claims.

Alberta Services Health Research reviewed the billing history of a physician who worked at the SF Medical Clinic on Edmonton Trail NE between March 2020 and June 2022.

They then alerted Calgary police after discovering the doctor had submitted nearly $2.2 million in false billing claims to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan over two years.

“The doctor is alleged to have paid overtime to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan beyond the time actually worked,” police explained in a Wednesday news release.

Shabina Fajullah, 49, of Calgary, has been charged with fraud over $5,000 and is scheduled to appear in court on May 16.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call police at 403-266-1234.
