NY-AG v. Kester Atumonyogo

Kester Atumonyogo allegedly defrauded the State Medicaid program of over one million dollars. According to NY-AG, Atumonyogo stole from Medicaid and from HealthFirst, a Medicaid funded Managed Care Organization, by filing false claims alleging to have dispensed a highly specialized enteral nutritional formula to Medicaid recipients, when in reality he only dispensed PediaSure and other inexpensive over-the-counter nutritional supplements. Atumonyogo further allegedly obtained a social security number and used that number to apply for and receive welfare benefits.
