The United States and the State of Rhode Island announced Monday that they have intervened in a civil lawsuit against Journey to Hope, Health, and Healing, Inc. and its then-CEO, Kenneth L. Richardson, Jr., filing a complaint alleging that these defendants billed the Rhode Island Medicaid program for millions of dollars for substance use disorder treatment services that the Defendants knowingly and routinely failed to provide to their patients who needed these services.
The state and federal lawsuit goes on to allege Richardson and the company subsequently falsified records in order to make it appear that required services were being provided, according to United States Attorney Zachary Cunha and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha.
