E. David Corvese, 45, formerly of South Kingstown, and two codefendants from Tennessee, were sentenced in November for filing false statements in TennCare, a program launched in Tennessee in 1994 to remake its health-care delivery system.
Corvese, Michael R. Ryan, former dean of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and Gary W. Cripps, a pharmacist, agreed to pay $2.4 million in civil fines and penalties.
...
As part of their plea agreement, reached in January 2001, Corvese, Ryan and Cripps are barred from participating in any federal contracts for 15 years.
...
According to the federal authorities, Corvese inflated the general and administrative expenses of ProMark to include fraudulent payments to Ryan and Cripps.
...
The relationship between URI and Pro-Mark was so strong that Corvese joined the faculty an an adjunct instructor. His firm also gave $65,000 to the school, allowing the College of Pharmacy to hire another full-time professor.
The business also allowed Corvese, past president of the Rhode Island Pharmacists Association, to buy a $925,000 house in South Kingstown, and pricey properties on Martha's Vineyard and in Maine.
Pro-Mark, which Corvese founded in June 1993, was a small consulting firm that evaluated pharmacy sales and marketing for drug companies. Prior to that, Corvese, who had earned a master's degree in health administration from Salve Regina University, was director of pharmacy at Westerly Hospital.
In February 1999, a 32-count indictment accused Corvese, Ryan and Cripps of wiring more than $4.2 million into a Pro-Mark account at Rhode Island Hospital Trust Bank.
