Gretchen Swope, 65, of Reno, Nevada, has been accused in a civil action filed by Reno Emergency Physicians Association of embezzling more than $700,000 from the practice for which she and her firm, Medical Billing Inc., handled the finances. According to the suit, Swope, aided by her husband, Karl Swope and Brian Fairchild, both officers of Medical Billing, Inc., bilked the medical practice out of the funds over a period of about 12 years, beginning in 1999, by transferring funds to bank accounts the defendants controlled for their own benefit.
