News from Kentucky Attorney General's Office

Frankfort, KY (5 Mar 2018) – Attorney General Andy Beshear and his Office of Medicaid Fraud and Abuse today announced a Fayette County woman has been found guilty of taking more than $30,000 from the state’s Medicaid program.



A Fayette County jury found Amy Rector, 40, of Lexington, guilty on one count of Medicaid fraud, a Class D felony, and one count of theft by unlawful taking of property valued at $10,000 or more, a Class C felony.

During the two-day trial, Beshear’s Office of Medicaid Fraud and Abuse presented evidence that from 2013 to 2015 Rector, while participating as an employee of the Medicaid Consumer Directed Option (CDO), fraudulently billed the program.

As a CDO employee of her sister, a Medicaid recipient, Rector submitted timesheets for specific patient centered services that she never provided, resulting in overpayment of more than $30,000.
