Wayne W. Williamson admitted in July to billing Medicare and Medicaid for longer visits to government-subsidized, low-income apartment complexes than what actually occurred.
Additionally, Mr. Williamson pleaded guilty to selling prescription drugs, such as Oxycontin, Percocet and Xanax, in the apartment complex parking lots to customers who did not need the prescriptions, according to the report. He continued to write prescriptions even after his license to prescribe medications in Missouri was suspended in March 2008.
Mr. Williamson must also pay more than $2,700 in restitution in addition to his prison sentence.
