Wyoming psychologist sentenced to prison for health care fraud

January 9, 2018

Wyoming psychologist Gibson Condie who admitted to stealing money from Medicaid was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay $2.3 million in restitution.  The judge also imposed three years of supervised release after Condie serves his prison time.  

Condie was originally accused of submitting about $6.8 million in fraudulent bills to Wyoming Medicaid between June 2012 and February 2016.  Prosecutors said the crux of Condie’s fraud involved him claiming to be the treating provider even though almost all services were provided by unenrolled, and often unlicensed, persons who could not provide mental health services under Wyoming Medicaid.
