Tina M. Allen, age 46, and Michael A. Maggiacomo, age 50, both of South Berwick, Maine, were arrested on February 11, 2021, and charged with two class B felony counts of Medicaid Fraud, in violation of RSA 167:61-a, and one class A felony count of Theft by Deception, in violation of RSA 637:4. Maggiacomo is the owner of Alerion Home Care and Wellness Solutions, a home healthcare company. The charges allege that he and Allen, an Alerion employee, submitted claims for payment to New Hampshire Medicaid for home nursing services that were not actually rendered because the patients were not residing at home. The charges further allege that when the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services’ Program Integrity Unit audited Alerion, Allen and Maggiacomo presented falsified nursing notes to support Alerion’s false Medicaid claims.
