Michigan announced that Lajuana Scott has been ordered to pay $915,000 in restitution and sentenced to a year in jail after being convicted of embezzlement and Medicaid fraud. Scott worked at a non-profit methadone clinic, Nardin Park Recovery Center, where she submitted false claims for psychotherapy to Medicaid and Medicare by billing multiple entities for the same psychotherapy services and billing on behalf of doctors who had not provided therapy to the patients. The state also discovered that Scott was stealing money from the non-profit’s bank account. MI
