>Owner Of Berks-Based Home Care Agency Sentenced For Medicaid Fraud
(Berks County, PA) -- The owner of a home care agency based in Berks County will spend a month in prison for Medicaid fraud. The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office says 38-year-old Gavin Mata was also sentenced to five years of probation and must pay over 230 thousand dollars in restitution after pleading guilty last week to multiple charges. Mata is the owner of A Part of Our Family, which reportedly received almost 500 thousand dollars from the program for health care services that were never provided. The AG's Office said Mata and the agency will be banned as Medicaid providers for at least five years.
