The Florida Board of Medicine suspended Dr. Louisville from practicing medicine for two years in 2019, but he continued to issue controlled-substance prescriptions. He also concealed his suspension when submitting prescriptions for payment to Medicare, according to a March 6 news release from the Justice Department.
Dr. Louisville also used his closed business, which shuttered in November 2019, to fraudulently obtain a federal PPP loan for $33,034 between April and May 2020.
In addition to being sentenced to prison for one year and one day, Dr. Louisville was ordered to pay $35,319.23 to the Small Business Administration and $8,446.56 to Medicare in restitution, the release said.
