A dentist in King is having his license yanked by a state panel because of a report that says he overbilled Medicaid to help fund an opulent lifestyle. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Tuesday that the state Board of Dental Examiners has ordered Sassan Bassiri to surrender his license by April 18. A report by board investigators claims that Bassiri sent false bills to Medicaid to help cover purchases including a house worth nearly $1 million and a condo in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The report claims Bassiri used incorrect Medicaid reimbursement codes about 19,000 times between 2003 and 2009. Bassiri's lawyer said his client made mistakes and plans to repay Medicaid. Steven Shaber said Bassiri hasn't decided whether to appeal.
