PUEBLO, CO — Attorney General Phil Weiser announced charges against a Pueblo woman on Thursday, October 28th. The Colorado Department of Law filed the charges for Medicaid fraud.
46-year-old Renee Fosano is accused of submitting Medicaid claims for reimbursement for services that were never rendered. The State says that between March 3, 2020, to April 12, 2020, Fasano routinely filed claims as the owner of Southern Colorado Telehealth amounting to a total theft of approximately $577,935.82.
According to the Pueblo County District Court affidavit, Fasano took the Medicaid billing information of patients of her former employer Castillio Primary Care where she worked as a biller, and used this information to make fraudulent claims stating patients had rendered her services.
