This plan is not "above board", even seemingly. I can see how a statistical increase prescriptions to treat scabies could well be detected by state or industry sponsored pharmacy data-snooping, or even by snitching pharmacists. Such snooping is already done openly for doctors' opioid prescribing patterns, and I receive regular reports on mine, with statistical comparisons to other doctors; I find these reports intimidating.
Getting back to your proposal, those doctors prescribing ivermectin for scabies could then be audited, and the fake scabies "diagnoses" and treatments would be discovered and used as evidence of fraud perpetrated against the insurer. The prescribing doctor would face not only loss of license and fines, but hard core prison time.
