The Office of the Attorney General of Texas (“OAG”) has secured justice for Texas taxpayers by investigating and prosecuting Dennis Damian Anugwom, owner of ambulance services company Union Healthcare Services. Anugwom was sentenced to 16 years of incarceration by a Harris County District Court and ordered to pay $388,648 in restitution for his criminal involvement in a Medicaid fraud scheme. Anugwom was previously convicted of first-degree felony Healthcare Fraud. Anugwom’s scheme, conducted through Union Healthcare Services and operating as City EMS, employed fraudulent billing practices including upcoding, unbundling, and billing for services that were either medically unnecessary or not conducted. Anugwom also engaged in illegal kickbacks and money laundering.
