Twenty people, a behavioral health business and a church were charged in an indictment that alleged Arizona’s Medicaid program was defrauded $60 million in a scheme involving billing for mental health treatment and addiction rehabilitation. Its the latest indictment in a series of crackdowns in the state focusing on sober living homes. The indictment alleged Happy House Behavioral Health LLC was paid the money for services that were either never provided or only partially completed.
