(KAIR)--The Kansas Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Unit, known as MFCU, recently prosecuted six Medicaid fraud cases recouping more than $42,600 in restitution from fraudsters.

That word comes in a release from the office of Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, with the release noting that of the six cases, one involved a Leavenworth resident.

35-year-old Courtland Allen pled guilty to making a false claim, statement, or representation to the Medicaid program and unlawful acts concerning computers.

The release explains that Allen claimed to be working as a personal care attendant for his brother, a Medicaid beneficiary, when Allen was actually working another job at times when his brother was in school.

Allen was sentenced to 24 months in jail, suspended, and 12 months supervised probation. He was ordered to pay $3,687 in restitution.

The MFCU unit investigates and prosecutes Medicaid fraud cases statewide to stamp out corruption and abuse of Medicaid dollars and services.
