Former Menlo Park psychiatrist Theodore Jay Sabot faces up to five years in prison after pleading guilty in Sacramento Superior Court to stealing more than $100,000 from the state Medi-Cal program, authorities said. Sabot closed his California practice and moved to New York in July, 1983, but he continued to send Medi-Cal claims for a year after that--claiming he was seeing patients in California on a daily basis, a spokesman for the state attorney general’s office said. From 1981 to 1984, Sabot submitted $400,000 in claims for patients he never treated, the spokesman said.
