The defendant has been charged with making a [false] [misleading]
statement about the treatment provider’s [status] [credentials] [rate of
recovery] with the intent to defraud.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant was a [treatment provider]1 [treatment
facility]2 [recovery residence]3 [[third party providing services to any
[treatment provider] [treatment facility] [recovery residence]].
Second, that the defendant knowingly4 made a [false] [misleading]
statement.
And Third, that the defendant did so with the intent5 to defraud any
person about the [treatment provider’s status as an [in-network] [out-of-network] provider] [the [credentials] [qualifications] [experiences] of persons
providing [treatment] [services]] [the rate of [recovery] [success] in
providing services].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant was a [treatment provider] [treatment
facility] [recovery residence] [[third party providing services to any
[treatment provider] [treatment facility] [recovery residence]] and knowingly
made a [false] [misleading] statement with the intent to defraud any person
about the [treatment provider’s status as an [in-network] [out-of-network]
provider] [the [credentials] [qualifications] [experiences] of persons providing
[treatment] [services]] [the rate of [recovery] [success] in providing services]
(nothing else appearing),6 it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty.
If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these
things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
