Six Ohio Medicaid Providers Indicted, Pickerington Woman Faces $404K Fraud Charge

Six Ohio Medicaid providers have been indicted this week for stealing a combined $558,383 from the government healthcare programme for low-income residents, dispatch.com reports. The largest individual case centres on a Pickerington woman who owns and operates Reset Tomorrow, a behavioural-health programme for children based in Reynoldsburg.

Rasheedah Biles, 42, faces charges of Medicaid fraud and theft totalling $404,810 between November 2023 and October 2025. The Ohio Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit opened its investigation into Biles following a referral in May 2025 that flagged her company for excessive billing. Investigators allege she directed employees to inflate claims for services provided to children in Reset Tomorrow's after-school programme, its summer camp, and residents of a group home for foster children. The fraudulent activity included upcoding and billing for services that were never rendered.

Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson described the conduct as "stealing a combined $558,383 from the government healthcare programme for the needy."

Two other central Ohio residents were also indicted as part of the same action. Dorika Carter, 41, of Columbus, is accused of falsifying timesheets amounting to $6,661 in fraudulent claims. According to the attorney general's office, Carter billed for home-health services while a client was hospitalised, during periods when she was working a separate full-time job, and over a six-month stretch when she was medically unable to work.

Binetou Ndao, 37, also of Columbus, is accused of billing for full shifts as a home health aide despite routinely arriving late and leaving early, totalling $5,140 between January 2025 and January 2026. Data from her employer's electronic visit-verification system showed her clocking in and out at locations other than the client's residence.

The three cases form part of a broader crackdown by the attorney general's office. In July, a former Powell couple were accused of committing more than $9 million in Medicaid fraud. In June, six Ohio Medicaid providers — including two from central Ohio — were accused of stealing more than $300,000 from the programme.
