Madison Man Pleads Guilty To Conspiracy To Defraud The United States
Jackson, Miss. - A Madison man pled guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States. According to court documents and statements made in court, Reginald Fullwood, Jr., 59, of Madison, participated in a scheme to pay kickbacks to a marketer in exchange for completed doctors' orders so that he could cause his durable medical equipment company, Jackson Medical Supply, to bill Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans for orthotic braces that were medically unnecessary and/or ineligible for reimbursement. When Medicare initiated an investigation of Jackson Medical Supply, Fullwood opened another entity in the name of a nominee owner and again paid kickbacks to a marketer in exchange for doctors' orders so that the new entity could continue to bill Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans for orthotic braces.
