Louisiana announced the arrests of three New Orleans women as a result of an investigation exposing over $2 million in Medicaid Fraud. Lanice Stamps, 44 of New Orleans and owner of A New Direction Support Services, was arrested on 10 counts of Medicaid fraud for allegedly providing false and fraudulent claims for behavioral health services not rendered. Many recipients were fraudulently diagnosed as moderately mentally retarded or severely autistic so that the claims submitted could be billed at a higher level and they had never received counseling services.
