What changed

Indiana AG MFCU has filed 43 counts of Medicaid fraud and one count of theft against Kevin L. Calvert, owner of TRUTH Treatment Centers Inc., for allegedly billing Medicaid more than $2.7 million for addiction treatment services. The indictment alleges Calvert falsified documents showing a qualified physician was overseeing mental health services when, in fact, the listed anesthesiologist never provided services or held any role with the business. Additionally, the business allegedly used recent graduates of its own drug treatment program—without required education and licensure—to provide counseling.

Healthcare providers participating in Medicaid should review their billing practices to ensure all services are rendered by properly licensed professionals with appropriate physician oversight documentation. Medical professionals should verify that their credentials are not being used on claims for services they did not provide. Clinical facilities offering addiction and mental health treatment should audit their staffing to confirm all counselors meet licensure requirements and that physician supervision records are accurate and current.

What to do next

Review Medicaid billing practices to ensure all claims are supported by services actually rendered by licensed professionals
Audit staffing records to verify all counselors hold required education and licensure for addiction treatment services
Confirm physician supervision documentation accurately reflects actual oversight relationships

Penalties

43 counts of Medicaid fraud and 1 count of theft; potential prison time and restitution ordered upon conviction

Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU)
will prosecute case following his investigation

Following an investigation by Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), an Indianapolis man has been arrested and charged with 43 counts of Medicaid fraud and one count of theft after he allegedly falsified documents to indicate a qualified physician was overseeing mental health services provided at his business, TRUTH Treatment Centers Inc.

A deputy attorney general on the MFCU team will prosecute the case against Kevin L. Calvert in Marion Superior Court. According to records, the 57-year-old entrepreneur submitted bills totaling more than $2.7 million for addiction treatment services supposedly provided to patients by medical professionals.

Based on MFCU’s investigation, however, the business allegedly was using recent graduates of its drug treatment program — without the required education and licensure — to provide counseling.

The physician listed as the rendering provider on the majority of TRUTH Treatment Center billings is an anesthesiologist who told investigators he never provided any medical services or held any role with the business — adding that he was surprised to learn the billing from TRUTH Treatment Center was under his name.

“We take very seriously our responsibility to protect Indiana’s resources from fraudsters,” Attorney General Rokita said. “The Medicaid program is meant to help low-income individuals get the health care they need. Our office will continue to ensure that Hoosiers’ tax dollars supporting this program are protected from fraud and abuse, and we would ask anyone with information about suspected fraud of this nature to please report it to our office.”

Attorney General Rokita expressed gratitude to the MFCU staff working on this case. Specifically, he named Investigator John Mills, Deputy Attorney General Georgeanna Teipen (who will prosecute this case on behalf of MFCU) and MFCU Director and Chief Counsel Matthew Whitmire.

It is important to remember that any accusation that someone has committed a crime, an arrest and/or the filing of a criminal charge is simply an allegation and is not evidence of guilt. All suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

The ethical rules for prosecutors in Indiana prohibit further comment on this matter. At this time, there will be no further comment.

The Indiana Medicaid Fraud Control Unit receives 75% of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a federal grant. The remaining 25% is funded by the State of Indiana.
