The former chief financial officer of a Kansas health-care organization has been charged with siphoning more than $2-million in Medicaid money from the organization, The Topeka Capital-Journal writes.
Federal prosecutors claim that Jason Sellers, 43, of Lyndon, Kan., diverted Medicaid payments to Kansas Health Solutions, a nonprofit group contracted by the state to administer mental-health services, to a shell consulting company he created.
According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court last week, the firm, Advanced Business Consulting, fraudulently billed the charity for information-technology services. Mr. Sellers allegedly also billed Kansas Health Solutions for sports gear and uniforms for teams with which he was involved, computer equipment for a school, and personal funds.
Mr. Sellers, who left Kansas Health Solutions in August 2011 amid a state probe of the alleged theft, was charged with a single count of wire fraud and faces up to 20 years in prison. The article did not include a comment from him.
