Green County Man Convicted of Medical Assistance Fraud

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that a Green County man has been convicted of medical assistance fraud, a felony. Anthony Anglin appeared before Judge Thomas Vale and entered a no contest plea to one felony fraud count, a charge which stems from his ownership of Anglin Transportation Company.

According to the Department of Justice's criminal complaint, Anthony Anglin, of 902 9th Street in Monroe, owned Anglin Transportation Company, a specialized medical vehicle service that transports Medicaid recipients to and from medical appointments. Between June 2009 and April 2010, Anglin billed the Medicaid program for services Anglin Transportation had not provided. The total paid by Medicaid for these fraudulent billings was $73,990. Sentencing is scheduled for March 3, 2012.

The case was investigated by the Medicaid Fraud Control and Elder Abuse Unit and prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Gabrysiak.
