A woman who allegedly billed Medicaid for services for a client who was no longer living in her care facility pleaded guilty to felony theft and medical assistance fraud charges Thursday.
Under terms of a plea agreement, Donnabeth Taasin will pay $3,859.64 restitution, $1,500.00 to the state crime victims compensation fund, and $1,000.00 in investigative costs and other fees.
The Department of the Attorney General noted that Taasin has no prior record and cooperated with the investigation, and under the plea agreement, she may seek a deferral of her sentencing. Sentencing is scheduled for November 9, 2016.
The reporters who write these stories need to have someone edit them before publication. The story says the woman “allegedly billed Medicaid for services for a client who was no longer living in her care facility…” There is nothing alleged about it. The woman pleaded guilty to felony theft and medical assistance fraud charges.
What care facility? Want to avoid using crooked firms that bilk the government. Probably bilked patients’ family also?
