The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons is asking to intervene in challenging the conviction of a South Barrington doctor who was sentenced in September to 10 months in prison for making false statements in reports as part of what prosecutors say was a scheme that defrauded Medicare out of at least $10,000.
In May, a federal jury convicted John Natale, 64, of making false statements, but acquitted him of health care and mail fraud. Natale, a former vascular and thoracic surgeon at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, also was fined $40,000 and ordered to perform community service upon his release from prison.
