Casheba Cannon’s full-time job was as an elementary school teacher but she was also employed by Just by 5, Inc. (JB5), as a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP).
The Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), which administers the Medicaid program in Virginia, reimburses JB5 for mental health support services.
Cannon received an hourly wage by JB5 for the hours she documented that she spent with her clients. But, according to court documents, Cannon was inflating that time, saying she was with clients when she was actually teaching. She was also accused of recording sessions that never occurred and documenting that she was meeting with two clients in different locations at the same time.
Between January and December 2013, DMAS paid JB5 more than $50,000 for services on behalf of Cannon’s clients.
Cannon pleaded guilty to the charges in May 2015.

It's easy to falsify those records when the agency doesn't check them or somebody in the agency is covering for you... for a price.

ReplyDeleteShe probably isn't even qualified to provide the mental health treatment she claimed she was providing.
ReplyDeleteSounds about right. Honor a bunch of dishonest losers every day. Our moral values have gone to hell. Terms like character, integrity, and hard work are missing in today's society and that is so sad.
