Six Medicaid Providers Indicted on Fraud Charges

8/13/2026

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) , Indictments filed this week by the office of Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson accuse six Medicaid providers of stealing a combined $558,383 from the government healthcare program for the needy.

“Fraud against Medicaid is fraud against Ohio taxpayers,” Wilson said. “We will continue to investigate suspicious billing behavior and hold offenders accountable.”

The cases include a business owner who allegedly instructed employees to inflate claims, providers who billed for services while working other jobs and individuals who billed when clients were hospitalized or deceased. One of the defendants alone accounts for more than $400,000 of the alleged fraud.

The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) , an arm of the Attorney General’s Office, investigated the cases and secured the indictments in Franklin County.

Among those indicted:

Rasheedah Biles , 42, of Pickerington, is charged with Medicaid fraud and theft in connection with Reset Tomorrow, a Columbus behavioral-health program for children that she owns and operates. The MFCU began investigating Biles after a referral in May 2025 flagged her for excessive billing. The investigation revealed that she allegedly directed employees to inflate claims for services to children in Reset Tomorrow’s after-school program and summer camp, and to residents of a group home for foster children. The fraudulent claims included upcoding and billing for services that were never provided, resulting in a $404,810 loss for Medicaid between November 2023 and October 2025.

Dorika Carter , 41, of Columbus, is accused of falsifying timesheets. She claimed to have provided home-health services while a client was hospitalized, when she was working a separate full-time job and during a six-month period when she could not work due to medical reasons. The loss to Medicaid totaled $6,661.

Carol Dawes-Willis , 59, of Hillsboro, allegedly billed for homemaker and personal care services on dates that she did not visit the client. Electronic visit-verification data, text messages and other documentation confirmed that no services were provided on the billed dates. The loss to Medicaid between January 2024 and October 2025 totaled $4,510.

Yvette Johnson‑Woodall , 58, of Youngstown, faces charges after allegedly defrauding Medicaid of $83,857 between April 2021 and February 2026. Investigators found that she billed for therapeutic behavioral services for four clients during extended periods when no services were provided, including stretches when the clients were homeless or hospitalized. Records also show that some of her billed service hours overlapped with her shifts at a job as a school bus aide.

Sasi Kaza , 55, of Clinton, was charged following an investigation that revealed a $53,405 loss to Medicaid. As the owner of Moonlight Home Health Care in Austintown, Kaza is accused of routinely billing for the maximum number of authorized hours regardless of whether services were provided. The fraudulent claims included billing for dates when clients were hospitalized and, in some cases, after they had died.

Binetou Ndao , 37, of Columbus, allegedly billed for full shifts as a home-health aide despite routinely arriving late and leaving early. Data from her employer’s electronic visit-verification system showed her clocking in and out at locations other than the client’s residence. The loss to Medicaid between January 2025 and January 2026 totaled $5,140.

Ohio’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which operates within the attorney general’s Health Care Fraud Section, collaborates with federal, state and local partners to root out Medicaid fraud and protect vulnerable adults from harm. The unit investigates and prosecutes healthcare providers who defraud the state Medicaid program and enforces the state’s Patient Abuse and Neglect Law.

Indictments are criminal allegations. Defendants are presumed innocent unless proved guilty in a court of law.

The Ohio Medicaid Fraud Control Unit receives 75% of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $16,553,872 for federal fiscal year 2026. The remaining 25% to totaling $5,517,956 for FY 2026 to is funded by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
