An eyecare provider in Jasper and Calhoun, Georgia, has been sentenced to nearly 3.5 years in federal prison for allegedly bilking Medicare and Medicaid of more than $1.2 million.

Matilda Lynn Prince, 42, of Mineral Bluff, Georgia, was sentenced last week to three years, four months imprisonment, federal prosecutors announced. A jury last January convicted Prince of 29 counts of health care fraud stemming from allegations that she filed fraudulent claims with Medicare and the Georgia Medicaid program for optometry and ophthalmology services that were never provided to patients, according to court records.
