Memphis Woman Indicted, Charged Following TennCare Billing Investigation

An investigation by special agents with the Medicaid Fraud Control Division of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment and arrest of a Memphis caregiver accused of submitting overlapping timesheets for services to TennCare recipients. In January, at the request of the Division of TennCare’s Office of Program Integrity Unit, TBI agents began investigating allegations that Chanta T. Cox falsified documentation for TennCare services that were never received. During the investigation, agents developed information that between December 2019 and February 2020, while working for multiple healthcare agencies in Shelby County, Cox submitted multiple timesheets showing she was at two different locations on the same date and at the same time.
