Six Ohio Medicaid providers are facing criminal charges after state investigators say they collectively stole $558,382 from the taxpayer-funded health program, with one Pickerington woman alone accused of siphoning more than $400,000 by inflating claims for services to children in foster care and summer camps. The suspects, described by the state attorney general's office as coming from central Ohio, include home-health aides accused of billing for shifts they never worked and a behavioral-health program operator accused of directing employees to pad records for kids who never received the claimed services.
The largest case involves Rasheedah Biles, who owned and operated Reset Tomorrow, a Columbus behavioral-health program for children, according to NBC4 WCMH-TV. State investigators allege Biles directed employees to inflate claims for services to children in afterschool programs and summer camps, as well as to residents of a foster-children group home, with the alleged conduct spanning November 2023 through October 2025. The claims attributed to Biles reportedly included both upcoding and billing for services that were never provided at all, resulting in an alleged $404,810 Medicaid loss. The investigation into Biles began in May 2025 after a referral flagged excessive billing, and she has since been charged with Medicaid fraud and theft.
Three Smaller Cases Add Nearly $142,000 More
Beyond the Reset Tomorrow allegations, three other defendants — Carol Dawes-Willis, Yvette Johnson-Woodall, and Sasi Kaza — were accused of defrauding Medicaid for a combined sum of nearly $142,000, per the same NBC4 report. Dawes-Willis, of Hillsboro, is accused of billing for homemaker and personal care services on days state investigators say she never actually visited the client, a scheme that state officials say caused $4,510 in Medicaid losses. Johnson-Woodall, of Youngstown, is accused of billing for therapeutic behavioral services for four clients who were homeless or hospitalized between April 2021 and February 2026, with some billed hours reportedly overlapping her shifts as a school bus aide.
Kaza, the owner of Moonlight Home Health Care in Austintown, faces charges connected to $53,405 in alleged Medicaid losses. State investigators say she routinely billed for the maximum authorized hours regardless of whether services actually occurred, including on dates when clients were hospitalized or had already died. The case underscores a systemic vulnerability regulators have flagged before: home-health billing that continues uninterrupted even after a patient's death.
Home-Health Aides Accused of Clocking In From Elsewhere
Two additional cases center on individual home-health aides accused of billing for time they did not actually work. Binetou Ndao, of Columbus, is accused of billing for full shifts as a home-health aide despite routinely arriving late and leaving early between January 2025 and January 2026. Electronic visit-verification data reportedly showed her clocking in and out from locations other than the client's home, and the alleged fraud tied to Ndao resulted in a $5,140 Medicaid loss.
Dorika Carter, also of Columbus, is accused of falsifying timesheets while providing home-health services to a hospitalized client, allegedly overbilling Medicaid while working a full-time job and while on medical leave. The Ohio Medicaid Fraud Control Unit was investigating Carter's conduct, which state officials say resulted in a $6,661 Medicaid loss.
New Attorney General Inherits an Expanding Enforcement Push
The indictments arrive under newly appointed Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson, who took office in June after former Attorney General Dave Yost resigned to enter the private sector. Wilson's office now oversees a Medicaid Fraud Control Unit that, from January 2023 through May 2026, helped secure 444 indictments, 481 convictions, and $78.4 million in recovered taxpayer funds through joint enforcement work with the Ohio Department of Medicaid. State investigators have increasingly leaned on an automated data-mining system, launched by the attorney general's office in early 2026, to flag irregular billing patterns among home-health and behavioral providers for manual review, according to the HHS Office of Inspector General.
This latest sweep echoes a similar crackdown in May, when Ohio grand juries indicted eight individuals — including five Medicaid providers accused of stealing $542,176 — for billing in-home services while clocked into other jobs or traveling internationally. The pattern reflects two distinct modes of fraud state officials have identified: individual aides who double-dip or fudge hours while working second jobs or while patients are hospitalized, and larger program operators who direct staff to systematically inflate claims for youth programs and group homes.
A Small Fraction of a Massive Budget
The $558,382 at stake in this sweep is modest set against Ohio's Medicaid program, which covers more than 3 million residents and accounted for roughly $43.2 billion in state spending during fiscal year 2025. Still, the case lands amid broader scrutiny of the program's finances — the State of Ohio Single Audit for fiscal year 2025 warned that questioned Medicaid expenditures could reach up to $4 billion across the entire program due to documentation and eligibility issues.
The Reset Tomorrow allegations against Biles also stand in contrast to a much larger case out of Franklin County's $9.3M phantom-care case, in which a former Powell couple operating One Community Mental Health was indicted in July for allegedly siphoning $9.3 million from Ohio Medicaid through phantom billing claims for entire households. Together, the cases illustrate the wide range of scale in Medicaid fraud schemes moving through Ohio's courts, from six-figure timesheet padding to multi-million-dollar organized billing operations.
All six defendants named in the August sweep face formal charges, but none have been convicted, and the allegations against them remain unproven in court.
