The former operator of a Massachusetts homecare agency was sentenced to 12 years in prison for defrauding Medicaid of more than $100 million, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said.

Faith Newton, the former operator of Arbor Homecare Services, and others at the agency engaged in a “massive conspiracy” to bill Medicaid from 2013-17 for services that were never provided, the DOJ said in an indictment.
