A former co-owner of two telemedicine companies who helped orchestrate $136 million in Medicare fraud was sentenced to seven years in prison for his role in the nationwide bribery and kickback scheme involving orthotic braces, doctors, and false claims.
Reinaldo Wilson, who, with his wife, Jean Wilson, a nurse practitioner, was co-owner of Advantage Choice Care (ACC) and Tele Medcare, was also ordered to pay $27.9 million in restitution, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a press release Thursday.
