Exec guilty of Medicaid fraud

A former executive was found guilty of Medicare fraud yesterday. Angela Isley of Atlanta stole more than 600 thousand dollars in state funds and more than 360 thousand from the medical supply company Orthoscript.

Officials say Isley assigned incorrect product codes to items at the Alpharetta-based company in order to receive higher payments from Medicare. She also used company checks to pay personal credit card bills.

Isley faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison and hefty fines for health care fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. She will be sentenced in July.
