Boiling Springs chiropractor Matthew Nicastro was sentenced this afternoon to 4 to 23 months in Cumberland County Prison on insurance fraud and theft by deception charges.

The sentence imposed by Judge Skip Ebert was two months less than that proposed in an agreement reached when Nicastro pleaded no contest to the counts in July.

His attoney, Heidi Eakin, said Nicastro has made $340,000 in restitution to Highmark Blue Shield and Erie Insurance.

Nicastro told Ebert that he didn't intend to defraud anyone, but had allowed his billing system to fall into disarray.
