Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that the former office manager of a Montgomery County-based home care agency, ComfortZone Home Health Care, will serve a prison sentence for her role in a $1.76 million Medicaid Fraud scheme. Barbara Thomas, 46, was sentenced this week in Montgomery County Court to 9 to 23 months in prison, plus 4 years of probation on felony counts of Medicaid Fraud, theft by deception, and corrupt organizations. As part of the sentence, Thomas is ordered to pay $1.39 million in restitution, jointly and severally with her co-defendants. According to the investigation, Thomas was the office manager and case manager between 2020 and 2023, when ComfortZone submitted personal care attendant claims to Medicaid for reimbursement, knowing the work was fabricated.
