Los Angeles Man Tied to Series of Fraud Cases Sentenced in Medicare Scheme

A Los Angeles man was sentenced to six years in prison last week for his role in a power wheelchair scam, topping what p rosecutors say has been a series of Medicare fraud cases.
David James Garrison, 50, a former physician assistant, was found guilty by a federal jury for his role in submitting $ 18.9 million in fraudulent Medicare claims for power wheelch airs and other equipment.
The wheelchair case is the third time Garrison has been acc used of Medicare fraud.
In 2009, Garrison pleaded no contest to tax evasion for his role in what prosecutors described as a fraudulent medical clinic. He pleaded not guilty in October to charges that he forged prescriptions as part of an OxyContin ring that sold 1 million pills on the streets. That case is ongoing.
Garrison's attorney did not return a call for comment about the cases.
