The four employees of The Center for Bilingual Speech and Language Disorders allegedly conspired to bill Medicaid for unsupervised speech therapy with Medicaid beneficiaries.
For approximately three and a half years, the center billed Medicaid for these services and was reimbursed nearly $540,000.
The investigation is ongoing, and more arrests are expected to be made.
