After a four-day trial in January, Dr. Koroma was convicted on federal fraud charges. Evidence at trial showed Dr. Koroma falsely certified patients as homebound while working for Mobile Doctors — a company that contracted with physicians to arrange in-home visits for patients in several states and closed in 2013.
A federal jury found Dr. Koroma guilty of two counts of healthcare fraud and two counts of making false statements related to healthcare matters.
In addition to his prison term, the judge also ordered Dr. Koroma to pay $1.5 million in restitution, according to the report.
