A former home-care nursing agency operator in southwestern Minnesota was sentenced to nearly eight years for cheating Medicaid out of more than $1.8 million by submitting several thousand false claims over three years.
Remona L. Brown, 55, was sentenced last week after jurors convicted her in May on several counts of aiding and abetting fraud in connection with the scheme that centered on the now defunct Caring & Compassionate Healthcare Agency in Worthington.
Brown, of Lansing, Mich., will serve the first five years in prison and the balance on supervised release.
Her sentence calls for her to make full restitution for the $1,860,155.57 that she was convicted of stealing.
