Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) announced the arrest of a man who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from a state taxpayer-funded program.
MFCU charged Carlos Cabrera with Medicaid provider fraud. Cabrera ran Angels on Earth, a prescribed pediatric extended care business, and submitted fraudulent claims for services that should have been provided to children with medically-complex conditions, bilking Florida Medicaid out of more than $400,000.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “This defendant used vulnerable children and their families for his own financial gain by overbilling and stealing from a taxpayer-funded program. My Medicaid Fraud Control Unit uncovered this devious scheme and will now ensure this defendant faces justice.”
