CARSON CITY – A health care worker in Las Vegas has been placed on five years of probation and ordered to make a $15,300 payment for her guilty plea to Medicaid fraud.
Margaret Childs, 58, was hired by the state’s Medicaid program to care for low-income individuals in their home. The state Attorney General’s Office said she never showed up at these homes, yet she collected payment.
She pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor offense of failure to maintain adequate records in a case going back to 2008.
District Judge Kenneth Cory ordered her to perform 120 hours of community service but suspended a 60-day jail sentence.
