The owner of three Ohio-based home healthcare companies was sentenced to 42 months in prison after she was found guilty on all 13 charges against her in a $5.7 million Medicaid fraud scheme.
Sally Njume-Tatsing, 47, formerly of Pickerington, Ohio, inflated the hours of services provided, billed for registered nurses when licensed practical nurses completed the care, and billed for care for patients who were either deceased or ineligible for Medicaid.
She was indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2023 and charged with one count of healthcare fraud and 12 counts of making false healthcare statements. She was convicted on all charges against her following a September trial.
As part of her sentence, she was ordered to pay $5.7 million in restitution to Medicaid.
