A Biloxi, Mississippi, doctor was sentenced to 42 months in prison for participating in a compounding pharmacy fraud scheme, the Justice Department announced.

In a jury trial, Albert Diaz was convicted of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and wire fraud, conspiracy to distribute and dispense a controlled substance and falsification of records in a federal investigation.
