Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, with the assistance of the Hollywood Police Department, arrested Leita Tanis Apollon, a Medicaid provider. Apollon worked as a certified nursing assistant and defrauded the Florida Medicaid program out of more than $38,000 by submitting fraudulent claims. According to the investigation, Apollon submitted falsified claims for payment of personal care services to the Florida Medicaid program. The investigation revealed Apollon caused Medicaid to pay for services rendered by an unauthorized and ineligible individual.
