A Cranberry woman will spend years in prison for her role in a large conspiracy to defraud Pennsylvania’s Medicaid Program.
53-year-old Arlinda Moriarty was sentenced to 84 months in prison by a federal court after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud, health care fraud, engaging in a scheme to conceal material facts in a health care matter, and aggravated identity theft.
Prosecutors say between January 2011 and April 2017, Moriarty and 15 other defendants arranged for more than $87 million in Medicaid payments through three different entities for fraudulent claims for services that were never provided.
Moriarty also agreed to pay restitution in an amount of $8.7 million.
