Corinth, Miss– Imagine someone using your identity to bill Medicaid for health care you didn’t receive.
It’s called medicaid fraud and it’s why Tami Bivens-Johnson, of Corinth turned herself in to the police Friday. She says she got over 3 grand from Medicaid for billing phone calls as office visits, and forging papers saying she saw patients while she was out of town. Bivens-Johnson is facing up to 15 years in prison and over 100 grand in fines.
