Desmond Maul, 74, is the owner and operator of Family 360, an outpatient mental health and chemical dependency service provider, according to Carr\u2019s office. Family 360 worked with a Georgia licensed psychiatrist that provided services to the mental health center\u2019s Medicaid members starting in 2018, but the psychiatrist later passed away in 2021.

Maul allegedly continued billing Medicaid for services as if the dead physician directly provided or supervised such services, \u201cincluding by affixing his name and signature to treatment notes which took place after his death,\u201d according to Carr\u2019s office. This alleged Medicaid fraud enabled Maul to secure more than $88,000 in payments from Georgia\u2019s Medicaid program between August 2021 and September 2023, per the news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone takes advantage of a system designed to assist our most vulnerable Georgians, we don\u2019t turn a blind eye. We aggressively investigate and prosecute all those involved and ensure they face justice,\u201d Carr said in a statement. \u201cWe will always fight to protect taxpayer dollars and root out fraud and abuse in Georgia\u2019s Medicaid program.\u201d<\/p>\n

The indictment comes as the Trump administration has recently touted a \u201cwhole-of-government effort to root out\u201d healthcare fraud.The administration notably announced in July that it is deferring over $1 billion in federal Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota over suspected fraud.<\/p>\n
