Mental Health Care Provider Fined For Fraudulently Billing Medicaid

A Las Vegas counseling and mental health care provider has been fined more than $1 million and placed on three years of probation after fraudulently billing Medicaid.

We Care Behavioral Health Agency was convicted on a gross misdemeanor charge of intentional failure to maintain adequate records.

According to the Nevada Attorney General’s office, the company didn’t keep documentation on which billed services it actually provided to Medicaid recipients or when. 

How is Las Vegas' healthcare system really doing, and what does it mean for you and your family? Desert Companion's Health Issue takes a deep dive into these questions and explores how heart-centered business leaders prove that doing good benefits the bottom line.
