Two chiropractors will be sentenced on Tuesday for falsifying medical records.
Jennifer Lynne of Milford and George DeCarvalho of Stamford are scheduled to appear in federal court in Bridgeport. DeCarvalho pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud while Lynne pleaded guilty to conspiring to make false statements.
Authorities said Lynne performed unnecessary chiropractic treatments on people involved in auto accidents and falsified medical records for payment to insurance companies.
Prosecutors said DeCarvalho contacted another chiropractor to fabricate medical records to show he suffered certain injuries in an auto accident.
DeCarvahlo is seeking probation and his attorney said he has been devastated emotionally and financially. Lynne also is asking to be spared prison, citing constructive steps she's taken.
Five other defendants await sentencing.
