Dayton woman gets prison time for stealing $1.5 million from Medicaid
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A local woman will spend six to nine years in prison after defrauding Medicaid of $1.5 million.
Janay Corbitt, 36, was sentenced to prison this week after pleading guilty to several theft and identity fraud charges.
Joint Terrorism Task Force arrests 20-year-old over 'dangerous destructive device'
Corbitt was indicted in May 2024 after an investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's office revealed that she stole multiple identities to open and operate sham counseling agencies. Prosecutors say she also stole the identities of several licensed counselors, using their credentials to bill Medicaid for services that were never provided.
Corbitt was arrested by authorities in Dallas, Texas after she fled Ohio. Officials also say she was previously banned from working as a Medicaid provider due to a 2019 theft conviction.
Beyond the prison sentence, Corbitt was also ordered to pay $1.5 million in restitution.
