The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) announced today that Union Home Health Care Services (Union) — a Worcester-based group adult foster care (GAFC) provider — and its administrator, Bernice Codjia, age 41, of Worcester, pleaded guilty in Worcester Superior Court to charges related to a scheme to defraud MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program, of more than $1.6 million. Codjia was sentenced to one year in the House of Correction, suspended for three years, with the condition that she is prohibited from offering or providing services to MassHealth members, as well as billing or supervising billing to MassHealth for three years. Union was ordered to pay restitution in the full amount of $1.6 million, but because the company is no longer in business and is therefore unable to pay back the full amount, Union will pay nearly $300,000 as part of its sentence.  The Court also ordered Union to no longer offer or provide services to MassHealth members or bill MassHealth.
