Shomake and Kimberly Clyde “Casey” Conner, the owners of Guam Medical Transport, were sentenced to 6 years and 5.25 years, respectively, following their guilty pleas to charges arising from their conspiracy to defraud Medicare and TRICARE by submitting claims for reimbursement for medically unnecessary ambulance services that GMT provided to patients with end stage renal disease, despite knowing that the individuals did not qualify for ambulance transport under applicable regulations.  Defendants admitted that the conspiracy resulted in improper payments to GMT of approximately $10.8 million, and restitution in that amount was also ordered.  DOJ
