The founder of a St. Albans in-home care business that operated in Clay County has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for health care fraud conspiracy.
The government said Shida S. Jamie, 63, was sentenced after admitting last October that she altered and falsified records and documents for Golden Heart.
Jamie was also executive director of the provider of in-home care services to the elderly and aging under contract with a West Virginia Medicaid provider.
Prosecutors have also settled civil cases against Jamie and Golden Heart to recover losses associated with the Medicaid fraud.
Dr. Shahrooz Jamie, the convicted woman's husband, amassed a number of charges while he was a practicing physician in Clay County.
Jamie's son was featured in a Parade Magazine article portraying his success in rural Clay County.
