Leach worked as a medical director for Novus from April to October He also briefly worked for Novus Home Health. As part of his plea deal, Leach said he falsified claims to Medicare and Medicaid by claiming to have provided medical care that he had not.
He also signed blank prescription forms in bulk for controlled substances such as hydromorphone or morphine. Those drugs were then used to overmedicate patients, according to prosecutors. But Harris, a certified public accountant, had no medical license. Mickelsen said Leach signed the blank prescriptions "out of convenience" but had no knowledge that drugs were being used to hasten patients' deaths.
Leach is the fourth Novus defendant to plead guilty to conspiracy. The three others were Jessica Love, a registered nurse case manager and regional director for Novus; Melanie Murphey, who worked as Novus' director of operations; and Taryn Stuart, a Novus hospice nurse.
Twelve others, including Harris, are scheduled to go to trial in January. Valerie Wigglesworth. Get email alerts on breaking news stories as soon as they happen.
