NY-AG v. 716 Transportation, Inc.

716 Transportation, Inc., Wossen Ambaye, and Haimid Thompson allegedly stole over $1.2 million in a Medicaid fraud scheme. 716 Transportation, Inc. allegedly obtained over $1.2 million in Medicaid payments by falsely representing that transportation services had been provided in accordance with Medicaid rules and regulations when, in fact, the services billed were never provided or were provided in direct violation of the rules and regulations. Wossen Ambaye allegedly billed for services that did not, in fact, take place. Thompson admitted that he paid an individual for signing up to receive services from 716 Transportation and for each week that they remained with the company. Thompson further acknowledged that he submitted Daily Driver’s Logs to 716 to indicate that an individual received daily round trip transports that, in fact, did not occur. Thompson also admitted that 716 then submitted claims to Medicaid and received over $7,500 of payment based upon his false Daily Driver’s Logs, according to NY-AG.
