When somebody is found guilty of healthcare fraud, do they go to jail?

Depends. Sometimes, for a little while.

I’m going to do more research in this area. For now, the best information I’ve found is in a lecture that includes information from a 1992 study that found 38% of medical providers convicted of Medicaid fraud were sentenced for some jail time, compared to 79% of grand theft convicts.
