The owner of a Michigan adult day care center has pleaded guilty to submitting more than $539,000 in false Medicare claims for psychotherapy sessions that never took place, including sessions supposedly delivered to people who had already died.
According to the Department of Justice announcement, Yolanda Matthews, 58, of Farmington Hills, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Court documents state she admitted to "billing and submitting false and fraudulent claims to Medicare for psychotherapy services" that were not provided.
