Fraud case lands nursing home CEO in jail
LTC Liability Monitor, October 17, 2006
A nursing home CEO will serve an 18-month prison sentence and pay a $750,000 fine for his guilty plea of conspiring to defraud Medicare and Medicaid, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The U.S. attorney's office said that the CEO and his nursing homes reaped profits of at least $4 million by scrimping on resident care. The charges were a first for the country and could lead to other prosecutions of inadequate nursing home care, according to the Post-Dispatch.
