LITTLE ROCK, AR – A Chicot County woman has been arrested by the Arkansas Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
Tabitha Woods, 43, of Dermott, is accused of billing Medicaid for providing services for her mother while she was clocked in and working as a contract employee at the Arkansas Department of Correction Delta Regional Unit.
In a news release issued on Wednesday, the Attorney General’s Office said that Woods also allegedly billed Medicaid while her mother was admitted to a long-term care facility.
Woods was taken to the Pulaski County Jail where bond was set at $250,000. She has since bonded out.
Medicaid fraud occurs when Medicaid providers use the Medicaid program to obtain money to which they are not entitled.
Woods is now awaiting trial.
