PRISON HAS TO HURT –

Aug. 22, 2024 – Diana Moore, 44, of Mesa was ordered this week by a judge to pay over $21 million in restitution to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System for fraudulently billing the public service, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Arizona. Starting in 2020, the defendant began obtaining the identification numbers of AHCCCS members by paying other providers to transport members to her counseling facilities. After the members left, Moore would continuously bill AHCCCS by falsely claiming her entities were providing these members daily care for up to 90 days. 

Moore additionally submitted claims for AHCCCS members who were deceased or imprisoned at the time Moore claimed to have provided them care.
