Jury Convicts Philadelphia Care Worker of Medicaid Fraud

Attorney General Michelle Henry announced a Philadelphia man was convicted at trial of Medicaid fraud and related crimes for causing the Medicaid program to pay more than $4,200 for hours he claimed to have provided home care — when, in reality, the patient was in hospitals. A Montgomery County jury returned its verdict Thursday, following two days of testimony regarding Felipe L. Santos and the home care he fraudulently claimed to have provided for his mother-in-law between October 2020 and May 2021. Santos, 30, was convicted of four counts of Medicaid fraud, four counts of tampering with public records, and theft by deception — all felonies. He will be sentenced on a date to be determined in May.
