Maryland Personal Healthcare Aide Charged with Healthcare Fraud

Amstrong Chapajong, 38, of Cheverly, Maryland, has been charged in an information with healthcare fraud in connection with an overlapping billing scheme that defrauded the District of Columbia’s Medicaid program. As alleged in the information, from March 2020 to January 2022, Chapajong, while working as both a personal care aide and community support worker, fraudulently claimed to provide in-home personal care and behavioral health services to multiple clients in different locations at the same time. Additionally, Chapajong’s Electronic Visit Verification data most often showed he was not in the vicinity of his client’s homes, where he purported to be providing services. In total, Chapajong billed and was paid $461,369 by Medicaid for his shifts with overlapping hours.
