Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that Laura Perryman was sentenced to six years in prison in connection with a healthcare fraud scheme whereby Perryman created and sold a fake medical device component and told doctors that they could claim approximately $18,000 for implanting the fake component into patients. The device was sold by Stimwave, a medical device company of which the defendant was the founder, and, at the time of the offense, Chief Executive Officer. Stimwave previously entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Perryman was found guilty of heathcare fraud and conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and wire fraud following a two-week trial before US District Judge Denise L. Cote.
