AG Indicts Man for Causing over $99K in False MassHealth Claims

The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (AGO) announced that the Statewide Grand Jury has returned two indictments against Medford Boston Sr., 76, of Northampton, for fraudulently submitting timesheets to MassHealth, the state Medicaid program, for personal care attendant (PCA) services that were never provided, which resulted in MassHealth paying more than $99,000. Boston was indicted on one count of Medicaid False Claims and one count of Larceny over $1,200. Boston was eligible for PCA services through MassHealth, but according to an investigation by the AGO’s Medicaid Fraud Division, listed his 95-year-old mother as his PCA for certain periods of time despite her not physically being able to assist him with the services he claimed he needed. For other periods of time, Boston listed his son as his PCA, even though his son has lived in Pennsylvania since 2000 and was actively receiving unemployment benefits there.
