Prosecutors: $130K settlement in Medicaid False Claims Act

Associated Press  

— A couple who own a $1.3 million home in Mississippi has agreed to pay $130,000 to resolve allegations that they falsely claimed low income to get Medicaid health coverage for their dependents, federal prosecutors said Thursday. The settlement covers False Claims Act allegations against him and Manpreet Kamboj without any decision about liability, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Darren J. LaMarca. The couple owned or were associated with 48 convenience store/gas stations in Mississippi and Louisiana but claimed in Mississippi Medicaid applications and renewals that their household income came from one such outlet, prosecutors contend. He said their five-bedroom 7,850 square foot home in Madison, Mississippi, was most recently valued at $1.3 million.
