PROVIDENCE A Providence woman has been sentenced to a year of home confinement and ordered to pay more than $84,000 in restitution to her former employer for her role in a Medicaid fraud scheme, prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday.
Giovanne Gomez, 32, was sentenced last week after pleading no contest to obtaining money under false pretenses from the Rhode Island Medical Assistance Program, according to a statement from the office of Attorney General Peter Neronha.
The charges stem from her role in a scheme to divert Medicaid funds into bank accounts owned and controlled by her and several accomplices, including her husband.
