PA Home Care Owner Sentenced for Medicaid Fraud, Must Pay $235K

Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that the owner of a Berks County-based home care agency was sentenced to terms of prison, parole, and probation — and ordered to pay $235,778 in restitution — for collecting Medicaid reimbursement related to fraudulent claims submitted by his company. An Office of Attorney General investigation, which included a presentment from the 47th Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, revealed that A Part of Our Family Home Care Agency was reimbursed under Medicaid for services that were not provided and for claims containing false representations. Gavin Mata, owner of the company, previously pleaded guilty to felony Medicaid Fraud and perjury, as well as a separate count of Medicaid Fraud on behalf of the company. Mata, 36, of New York, was sentenced this week to one month in prison, to be followed by 22 months of parole, and five years of probation.
