DELTA COUNTY, MI— A Delta County woman has pled guilty to Medicaid fraud.
On Tuesday, Nicole Stouffer, 44, of Rock pled to two counts of felony Medicaid Fraud as a habitual second offender.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services approved services for Stouffer under the Home Help Program in July of 2021. She selected a family member to provide the services.
Logs purportedly verifying the home help work and the dates worked from November 2021 through August 2022 were submitted to DHHS. Approximately $8,000 was paid to Stouffer for the home help.
In November 2022, the family member allegedly providing Stouffer’s home help services made a complaint to the Department of Attorney General. The person denied having agreed to serve as a home help provider and also denied providing any of the paid-for services.
Stouffer faces up to six years in prison. Sentencing is set for December 16 in Delta County Circuit Court.
