ATLANTA – The owner of a former Henry County mental health services business will have to pay $3.8 million in restitution to the Georgia Medicaid Program for alleged Medicaid fraud.
Casandra Jones, 47, of McDonough and Frederick Thrasher owned and operated House of Preparation, which purported to provide mental health services to youth and adults. On Monday, Oct. 2, Jones pleaded guilty midway through her trial to one count of Medicaid fraud, one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the state and two felony counts of forgery in the second degree.
...The investigation also revealed that Jones was in possession of numerous forged documents. As a result of submitting fraudulent billings, Jones and Thrasher accepted payments from Georgia Medicaid totaling $3,832,855, which was more than they were entitled.
Thrasher had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the state under the Georgia First Offender Act and was sentenced to five years with one year to serve in prison. Thrasher was also ordered to pay approximately $3,832,855 restitution to the Georgia Medicaid Program.
