However, Njong did not actually provide these personal care services. Moreover, he conspired with various Medicaid beneficiaries to kick back a portion of the Medicaid payment to the beneficiary. For example, Njong paid one of the beneficiaries approximately $100 bi-weekly to sign blank or false statements. Njong also provided the beneficiary with food and other items of value in exchange for the beneficiary’s signature on false timesheets.
Over the course of Njong’s assignment for personal care services to two Medicaid beneficiaries, he submitted false timesheets for work that was not provided. For example, beginning in August 2013, Njong began working as a teacher in Maryland, in a full-time capacity. Despite his full-time employment, Njong continued to submit timesheets to the two home health care agencies, claiming that he also worked full-time for them.
As a result of Njong’s fraudulent conduct, D.C. Medicaid paid over $66,000 to the two home health care agencies. Njong personally received over $43,000 of the fraudulently obtained proceeds.
