In 1999, Neeb was acquitted of charges of "defrauding federal health care programs through the submission of bogus expense claims", but two of his colleagues, Jay Jarrell and Robert Whiteside, were found guilty.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/07/03/business/2-found-guilty-of-hospital-fraud-charges.html|title=2 Found Guilty Of Hospital Fraud Charges|author=|date=3 July 1999|website=The New York Times|accessdate=29 January 2018}}

The convictions of Jarrell and Whiteside were reversed on appeal, as the accounting treatment in question was not considered unreasonable.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/25/business/2-convictions-overturned-hca-says.html|title=2 Convictions Overturned, HCA Says|author=|date=25 March 2002|website=The New York Times|accessdate=29 January 2018}}
