A woman who operates a mental health services business in Colorado Springs has allegedly stole $240,000 from Medicaid through fraudulent billings, according to the Colorado Attorney General’s…

“Medicaid provides essential health care services for many of our state’s most vulnerable residents,” said Phil Weiser, Colorado’s AG, in the release. “We will hold accountable those who would take advantage of this system for their own gain and, in turn, take resources away from those in need.”
