BUFFALO – A Frewsburg resident who works as a chiropractor and school teacher has been sentenced in federal court for his conviction in a case involving healthcare fraud.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Buffalo announced Wednesday that 66 year-old Leo Kronert, Jr. was sentenced to three years supervised release, to include six months of home confinement and 100 hours community service. He was also ordered to pay close to $60,000 in restitution.
Kronert, who was a full-time teacher at Salamanca High School and a part-time chiropractor in Salamanca, was charged and convicted for submitting false claims for payment to Medicare and private insurance companies, seeking reimbursement for health care services he never provided in connection with his chiropractic practice.
The fraudulent claims totaled approximately $92,000.
