Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge today announced the arrest of a Saline County woman.
Jennifer Rogers, 43, of Benton, was unable to produce referral forms, evaluations, progress notes, treatments plans, schedules of treatment timesheets and billing records for her speech therapy patients from April 2017 to April 2018, totaling more than $64,500.
She is charged with two counts of Medicaid fraud, a Class A and a Class B felony. Following an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office, Rogers turned herself into the Pulaski County District Court and was released on her own recognizance.
This case was referred to the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit by the Office of Medicaid Inspector General.
Medicaid fraud occurs when providers use the Medicaid program to obtain money to which they are not entitled. To report Medicaid fraud or abuse or neglect in residential care facilities, contact the Attorney General’s Medicaid fraud hotline at (866) 810-0016 or [email protected].
