NASHVILLE – An Alabama woman is charged with TennCare fraud and theft of services for allegedly reporting false information to the state to obtain TennCare healthcare insurance benefits.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG), in a joint effort with sheriff’s offices in Lawrence County, Alabama and Marshall County, Tennessee, today announced the arrest of 33-year old Jessica Skinner, who is currently a resident of Town Creek, Alabama. She’s charged with TennCare fraud, a class D felony and theft of property over $10,000 but under $60,000, a class C felony.
Investigators allege that for a three-year period, Skinner reported that she had custody of her children in addition to falsely reporting that she resided in Tennessee. These factors made her eligible for TennCare and as a result TennCare paid approximately $56,900.00 in fees and claims on her behalf.
