Pam Bondi: Leon County Woman Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison for Medicaid Fraud

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that Titilayo Osholaja Dokun, owner of Capital City Area Care, a Leon County Medicaid home services company, was sentenced today to eight years in state prison for submitting more than $100,000 in false claims to the Florida Medicaid Program. Dokun was convicted last December on four counts of Medicaid provider fraud and grand theft.

My offices Medicaid Fraud Control Unit will continue to aggressively pursue these cases and protect Floridas Medicaid program, Bondi said in a statement.

According to a statement from her office, Bondi's investigation established that Dokun overbilled Medicaid by charging for more hours of services than were actually provided.

In addition to her prison sentence, Dokun was sentenced to 22 years' probation and ordered to pay more than $100,000 in restitution to Floridas Medicaid program.
