BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Denham Springs woman and the person she hired to provide personal care services for her child have been arrested for Medicaid fraud.
The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office says 49-year-old Kerri Morrison and 30-year-old Kaitlyn Hamilton were arrested Friday after they allegedly falsified timesheets that netted Hamilton about $11,000 illegally for hours when she was actually working at a Baton Rouge restaurant.
The Advocate reports (http://bit.ly/2cZ3O3Z ) from July 1, 2014 to Feb. 15, 2015, Hamilton filled out timesheets signed by Morrison and sent to Medicaid for payment saying she had worked from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. During those hours, though, state labor records showed Hamilton working at Izzo’s Illegal Burrito.
Hamilton and Morrison face eight counts of Medicaid fraud. Bond information was not immediately available.
