13 Medicaid Providers Facing Fraud Charges

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) — In indictments filed this month by the office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, 13 Medicaid providers are accused of defrauding the government health-care program for the needy. Twelve home-health aides and one behavioral-health specialist allegedly billed Medicaid for a combined $189,332 in services they did not provide, resulting in felony charges of Medicaid fraud and theft. The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, an arm of Yost’s office, investigated the cases and secured the indictments in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.

Yost announced the indictments as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown. The strategically coordinated law enforcement action led to criminal charges against 324 defendants nationwide for their alleged participation in health-care fraud and illegal drug-diversion schemes that allegedly involved the submission of $14.6 billion in false billings and 15.6 million pills of illegally diverted controlled substances.
