Dr. Kousa, who owns and operates East KY Clinic, was indicted last year on five charges of prescribing opioids without a legitimate medical purpose, two charges of healthcare fraud and two charges of making false statements in medical records.
Dr. Kousa had previously been barred from writing prescriptions, but the judge lifted the restriction after the verdict.
