FLORIDA FRAUDULENT PRESCRITIONS CASE LEADS TO INCARCERATION FOR FOUR 

A federal judge in Florida has sentenced three individuals who created and reaped unlawful funds from a bribery and kickback scheme involving the federal TRICARE Program serving active duty and retired U.S. service members and their families.

All were affiliated with Florida Pharmacy Solutions and engaged in concerted actions to pay bribes and kickbacks to physicians and sales representatives who encourage the referral of fraudulent prescriptions to the firm. In addition to money, the financial incentives included lavish hunting trips and expensive dinners.

Sentences imposed, based on role and participation in the undertaking, were 51 months of incarceration, 27 months, and 18 months. Another co-defendant had earlier entered a plea of guilty, resulting in a sentence of 33 months.
