Medicaid Fraud Conviction in Lawrenceville
About this episode
Averil Johnson was sentenced for a $330K Medicaid fraud scheme involving fake genetic tests in Georgia.
Averil Johnson, boss of National Healthcare Center, LLC, got a 10-year sentence for ripping off Georgia Medicaid with a $330K fraud scheme involving fake genetic tests—using bogus patient files and doctors’ names to cash in nearly $2K per claim. Whistleblowed by a nurse, the case exposed how easily the system can be abused, prompting Attorney General Chris Carr to vow crackdowns. Johnson’s guilty plea means he’ll serve just one year in jail, plus full repayment of the stolen funds—proof that healthcare fraud won’t go unpunished.
