Ken Beverly, retired Archbold Medical Center president and chief executive officer, was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine by Judge Louis Sands in Albany for medicaid and medicare fraud.
He will be told when to report for his incarceration, and when he must pay the fine. He is free until then.
Beverly's jury took less than three hours to convict him in December or 2010 in Valdosta District Court on six counts related to falsification of records, along with other charges.
Prosecutors argued that he conspired with former CFO J. Williams Sellers to get Medicaid money the hospital was not entitled to receive, by submitting forged documents.
Sellers entered guilty pleas in February 2009 to three counts of falsification of records related to this case, and testified that Beverly knew about the fake documents submitted to illegally get millions in medicaid and medicare reimbursements.
Archbold Memorial Hospital agreed to pay $13.9 million plus attorneys fees resulting from a "whistleblower" suit filed in 2008, to settle Medicaid fraud charges.
