OKLAHOMA CITY – Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s Medicaid Fraud Control has filed charges against the owner of medical clinics in Del City and Shawnee.

Deanna Williams, 49, owner of Fast Care Medical Clinics, was charged with two counts of Medicaid fraud in Oklahoma County District Court for allegedly sending the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) more than 940 duplicate claims for payments between January and December of 2011.

During the investigation, investigators learned that Williams was sending claims to OHCA through the agency’s secure website while also submitting the same claims through her other company, North West Medical Billing.

If convicted, Williams faces a possible maximum sentence of three years per count and/or fines of up to $183,745.

The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is the only Oklahoma law enforcement agency dedicated to the investigation and prosecution of Medicaid fraud. The Unit helps raise awareness as well as investigates and prosecutes provider fraud and abuse of residents in Medicaid funded nursing homes.
