A Cedar Grove man was sentenced Thursday to 50 months in prison for his role in a $3.5 million health care fraud, authorities said.
Brian Catanzarite, 43, pleaded guilty in June 2018. Catanzarite benefited from fake prescriptions while working for a marketing company as a sales representative from March 2015 to January 2017, according to U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito.
Catanzarite made $1.1 million from the scheme and caused $3.5 million in losses, Carpenito stated.
He would convince state beneficiaries to buy unnecessary medications, according to Carpenito.
Catanzarite is a former gym owner and was recruited to the marketing company by a former member, but authorities did not state which gym.
He will be subject to three years of probation after his prison sentence and responsible for $3.5 million in restitution.
Catanzarite was charged in part of a larger investigation by the New Jersey Department of Justice that totaled $15 million in health care fraud.
