Gibbs was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison after being found guilty of defrauding Medicare out of millions of dollars through a healthcare fraud scheme. She billed Medicare for services that were either unnecessary or never provided, resulting in significant losses for the government.
In addition to billing fraud, Gibbs also engaged in illegal kickbacks to incentivize referrals to her clinic. This further exploited the Medicare system for personal gain and demonstrates the severity of her actions.
The sentencing of Gibbs serves as a strong message that those who commit healthcare fraud will be held accountable for their actions. It sends a warning to others who may be considering similar schemes that they will face severe consequences for defrauding the government and exploiting vulnerable patients for financial gain.
