Kristina Stampley, 28, turned herself into investigators with the Medicaid Fraud Unit of the Attorney General’s Office. The indictment alleges that, while working as a case manager at Southwest Mississippi Mental Health, Stampley submitted approximately 229 claims for services that were billed to Medicaid, but for which services couldn’t be verified.
Southwest Mississippi Mental Health has cooperated with the investigation and has already repaid Medicaid more than $15,000 for the fraudulent claims.
If convicted, Stampley faces a maximum sentence of five years and $50,000 fine.
This case is the result of an investigation by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the Attorney General’s Office.
