(KNZA)--A Jackson County woman has been ordered to repay more than $4,500 to the Kansas Medicaid Program after pleading guilty to Medicaid fraud-related charges.
According to a press release from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, 56-year-old Lisa Lynn Allen, of Soldier, was also sentenced Friday to 24 months probation with an underlying jail sentence of six months.
Allen pleaded guilty in April in Jackson County District Court to one felony count of making a false claim to the Medicaid program.
Schmidt says an investigation revealed that Allen billed Medicaid for services provided as a personal care attendant for a Medicaid beneficiary while on the job with another employer. There were about 101 hours that Allen claimed she was providing services while she was working at another job. The crimes occurred between November 2014 and September 2015.
