Conspirator gets prison term in massive health fraud scheme
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — One of the principal figures in a large-scale health care fraud scheme in New Jersey has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison.
Craig Nordman received a 21-month sentence Wednesday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to bribe doctors and money laundering. Nordman was involved in a yearslong scheme in which New Jersey-based Biodiagnostic Laboratory Services bribed doctors to provide blood samples for testing that often was unnecessary.
Another company associate, Cliff Antell, also received a 21-month sentence Wednesday
More than 50 people have pleaded guilty overall in the scheme, including nearly 40 doctors.
