Gibbs was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison for defrauding Medicare out of millions of dollars. The scheme involved billing Medicare for services that were either unnecessary or never provided, as well as engaging in illegal kickbacks to incentivize referrals to her clinic.
The sentencing sends a strong message that those who commit healthcare fraud will be held accountable for their actions. It serves as a warning to others who may be considering similar schemes that they will face severe consequences for defrauding the government and exploiting vulnerable patients for financial gain.
Gibbs is just one example of the many individuals and organizations that have been caught defrauding Medicare in recent years. The total amount of restitution paid to Medicare by these individuals and organizations has reached over $30 million.
