SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - The Missouri Board for the Healing Arts terminated the medical license for former Missouri State Representative Tricia Derges. A federal judge sentenced Dr. Derges to seven years in prison in February. A jury in June 2022 found her guilty of 10 counts of wire fraud, ten counts of distributing drugs over the internet without a valid prescription, and two counts of making false statements to a federal law enforcement agent. Investigators say Dr. Derges made false claims about a fake stem cell treatment marketed through her clinics in southern Missouri and for illegally providing prescription drugs to clients of those clinics.
