Montgomery County Woman Among 6 Arrested Across Pennsylvania In Medicare Fraud: AG

An Ambler woman was among six people across Pennsylvania who were arrested on unrelated Medicaid fraud charges, Attorney General Kathleen Kane announced on Monday.

Jeann Schafle, 60, allegedly received $9,444 from the Medical Assistance Program to help care for her daughter, the attorney general’s office said.

However, Schafle allegedly did not provide these services to her daughter at all, Kane said.

From March 2012 to March of 2015, Schafle allegedly submitted falsified time sheets stating that she had completed the services, according to Kane.

In addition to Schafle, five others were booked on similar charges around the state, including two from Philadelphia:

• William Swinson III, 40, 4751 Sansom St., Philadelphia
• Danielle Glover, 37, 3104 Chartiers Ave., Rear, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County
• Richard Palmer, 32, 5107 Blair St., Pittsburgh, Allegheny County
• Kena Powe, 35, 802 Liberty St., McKees Rocks, Allegheny County
• Dawn Roberts, 22, 6746 Linmore Ave., Philadelphia

Schafle is charged with four counts of Medicaid fraud and tampering with public records, Kane said.

Her hearing is set for September 18.
