Attorney General Michelle Henry announced numerous arrests and convictions that occurred in recent weeks involving over $800,000 dollars in Medicaid fraud — underlining her staunch commitment to hold accountable those who steal from Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable residents. Since October 30, the Office of Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Section prosecuted six cases in which the defendants defrauded Medicaid of a combined $405,900. In that same time, nine people were charged in different cases for fraudulently billing Medicaid a combined $405,500. The crimes happened across the Commonwealth, including Beaver, Bucks, Dauphin, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Many of the cases investigated and prosecuted by the Medicaid Fraud Control Section involve home healthcare workers overbilling, billing for services not provided, or billing for alleged services provided to multiple patients at the same time.
