Man, Wife Get Prison in Medicare Fraud Case
The operator of a Los Angeles ambulance service was sentenced Friday to nine years in federal prison for bilking Medicare out of more than $2.4 million through fabricated billings.
Boris Shpirt, 51, co-owner of Greybor Medical Transportation, was also ordered to pay restitution in that amount to the government healthcare program.
His wife, Jenny, 44, who supervised bookkeeping for the company, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for filing false income tax returns.
Shpirt’s partner, Gregory Plotkin, 51, pleaded guilty in the case and testified against the couple at their trial last year.
