Attorney General Michelle Henry announced charges against Tina Bell, owner and manager of Superior Health, Inc. — an Erie County home care agency — for Medicaid fraud and endangering vulnerable individuals under her care. While licensed as a home care agency providing non-medical care, Bell operated shared-care homes in which Medicaid consumers resided. She billed for medical care by misrepresenting the qualifications of those providing care and/or where the care was rendered. Bell, 56, of Berks County, is charged with theft by deception, receiving stolen property, Medicaid fraud, tampering with public records, and neglect of a care-dependent person. Bail was set at $100,000. The Office of Attorney General’s investigation showed that Bell received more than $1 million in Medicaid funds for work that did not occur and for instances where inadequate care was provided, both of which endangered care-dependent individuals. She also falsified paperwork when audited by state officials in order to perpetuate the fraud scheme which was at risk of detection.
