FERRIDAY, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A Ferriday woman has been arrested and charged with Medicaid fraud for filing false claims.
Ullonda Rena Curry, 29, of 200 Smith Lane, Apt. 26, was arrested by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office. She was transported and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison Friday on one count of Medicaid fraud.
Curry, a personal care attendant, is accused of submitting false timesheets to her employer claiming to be providing personal care services to a Medicaid patient at the patient's home even though the patient was actually hospitalized at the time. This resulted in the Medicaid program being falsely billed, and Curry allegedly receiving $2,162 from her employer for work she did not perform.
