The Massachusetts State Ethics Commission has fined a former MassHealth director $6,000 for soliciting and receiving free Red Sox tickets from a state contractor she regularly worked with.
The Ethics Commission said in a news release that Stacia Castro, a former director of the MassHealth Specialty Provider Network, has paid a $6,000 civil penalty for violating conflict of interest law.
It said that while she was a MassHealth director, she repeatedly asked for and received free Red Sox tickets from the contractor administering the MassHealth dental program.
Castro signed a disposition agreement in which she admitted to the violations and waived her right to a hearing, the Commission said.
