A Danville, Virginia woman, Jacquelyn Farrish, 62, who claimed to receive almost 10,000 hours of personal care services from her estranged husband but never actually received those services, resulting in a loss to Medicaid of over $116,000, was sentenced to five years’ probation, 12 months of which must be served on home detention. In addition to probation, she was ordered to pay $116,536 in restitution to the Virginia Medicaid program and will be required to perform 200 hours of community service. According to court documents, Farrish was married to A.L., a Medicaid recipient who was receiving Agency Directed Care Services. Until approximately 2017, Farrish and A.L. resided in Northern Virginia, at which time Farrish moved to Danville, Virginia, while A.L. continued living in Northern Virginia. A.L. later moved to Richmond, Virginia. In October 2018, Farrish applied to receive services from the Consumer Directed Care Program. She listed A.L. as the paid personal card attendant who would be providing her with home healthcare and respite care services, even though A.L. did not live in Danville. From October 2018 through February 2023, Farrish submitted and approved fraudulent timesheets, used A.L.’s personal information, and claimed A.L. provided services that were not rendered. In total, Farrish claimed 9,819 hours of personal care attendant services that were not performed. As a result, the total loss to Medicaid was $116,536.
