Angela Isley of Atlanta, former COO of medical supplier Orthoscript, Inc., was sentenced on Monday to 70 months in prison by US District Judge Charles Pannell in Atlanta. A jury convicted Isley in April on 52 counts including health care fraud, mail fraud and money laundering in connection with two schemes (earlier). In one, she submitted $600,000 in fraudulently coded claims to Medicare, causing a loss to Medicare of $219,000. In a separate scheme, she embezzled $360,000 from Orthoscript to pay her and her partner’s credit card bills by falsely coding payments as legitimate business expenses. Arch Nelson, a partner in Orthoscript who testified against Isley, was also sentenced on Monday. He received 5 years probation for misprision of a felony (Forbes/AP, DOJ).
