LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – The owner of an Acadiana hospice care facility has been convicted of defrauding Medicare of over $1.5 million, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
A federal jury returned a guilty verdict against Kristal Glover-Wing, 50, of Broussard, for one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and three counts of health care fraud following a trial that lasted nearly four weeks.
United States Attorney Brandon B. Brown said Dr. Gary M. Wiltz and Dr. Charles H. Louis were each acquitted on their charges in the indictment. Judge Robert R. Summerhays presided over the trial.
“Krystal Glover-Wing defrauded the government and we thank the jury for holding her accountable. We will now move forward to her sentencing hearing,” Brown said. “I thank the trial team and investigators for staying the course throughout years of investigating and a hard-fought trial.”
