Bismarck woman charged with Medicaid fraud

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Burleigh County prosecutors have charged a Bismarck woman with Medicaid fraud and endangering an adult.

Investigators say Loving Hearts Home Care owner Clissie Jackson used the business to defraud more than $1.5 million from the government.

They say Jackson billed the program for services that she never provided.

Police say Jackson also did not complete background checks for employees, borrowed money from clients and did not report a patient’s injury that resulted in hospitalization.

She is scheduled to go to trial in February.
