Doctor, Ex-Wife Sentenced in Workers’ Comp Scam: Mark Kaplan, a former Beverly Hills doctor who pleaded no contest to masterminding one of the biggest workers’ compensation insurance scams in California history, was sentenced to eight years in state prison by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge. Kaplan’s ex-wife, Polina Ioffe, who served as office administrator of the family’s chain of medical clinics, was given a two-year term for her part in the conspiracy. In keeping with a plea agreement reached with the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, the two were also ordered to pay fines and restitution totaling $7.5 million.
