(KNZA)--A Leavenworth woman has been convicted of charges in a Medicaid fraud case.
According to a news release from the office of Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, 53-year-old Ena Louise Mathis pleaded guilty last week in Leavenworth County District Court to one felony count Medicaid fraud and one felony count of committing a computer crime.
An investigation revealed Mathis had submitted false claims to the Medicaid program to pay for in-home assistance for a Medicaid beneficiary for times when the beneficiary was in a hospital or a resident in a nursing facility.
The release says Mathis falsely billed the Medicaid program for $6,425 through an interactive computer system used by the program. The crimes occurred between July 28, 2016 and January 31, 2017.
Sentencing has been scheduled for October 30.
