A Florida man has been sentenced in a Boston federal court for defrauding insurance providers by billing for unprovided physical therapy services. Jeffrey MacEachron, 60, a retired Air Force Colonel and former Inspector General at Hanscom Air Force Base, received a three-month prison sentence followed by 27 months of supervised release with home confinement. He was also ordered to pay $335,098 in restitution and a $5,500 fine.
In July 2024, MacEachron pleaded guilty to one count of health care fraud and aiding and abetting. He owned PT4U, Inc., which operated physical therapy clinics in Bedford and Lexington, Massachusetts. According to the charges, from 2013 through 2021, MacEachron manipulated claim forms to include additional units of service that were not performed. These claims were then submitted to insurance companies and TRICARE for reimbursement.
The case was announced by United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy; Chris Averill from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations; Brian J. Solecki from the Defense Criminal Investigative Service; Jodi Cohen from the FBI's Boston Division; and Anthony DiPaolo from the Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts. The prosecution was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys James D. Herbert and Christopher Looney.
