John Davis was sentenced after being convicted of one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and violate the Anti-Kickback Statute and seven counts of violating the Anti-Kickback Statute in April 2019.
According to evidence presented at trial, Mr. Davis arranged for referrals of durable medical equipment orders to one of his co-conspirators and her company, CCC Medical, in exchange for 60 percent of the profit from those referrals.

Mr. Davis allegedly used a shell company called ProMed Solutions to receive more than $770,000 in illegal kickbacks.
Mr. Davis’ prison term will be followed by one year of supervised release. He was also ordered to forfeit $770,036.
