Oregon DOJ Successfully Places Care Agency on Probation in Medicaid Fraud Case

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced that Rever Grand, Inc., a Standard Model Agency — meaning a private agency that hires Direct Support Professionals to provide home and community support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities — has accepted the state’s plea offer and entered a no-contest plea to one count of Making a False Claim for Health Care Payment. Under the terms of the plea, Rever Grand will be placed on probation for four years. Rever Grand, based in Grants Pass, employs Direct Support Professionals who provide community support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Oregon. In October 2024, a Josephine County Grand Jury indicted Rever Grand, along with its founder, Ray Parenteau, and his wife, Jolene Sesso, who also served as a manager of the company. The State continues to prosecute Parenteau and Sesso who are alleged to have used Rever Grand to funnel ill-gotten Medicaid funds to themselves. They remain charged with Racketeering and numerous counts of Making a False Claim for Health Care Payment, Aggravated Theft, Money Laundering, and Tax Evasion.
