Greensboro woman sentenced in $6M urine drug testing scheme: USDOJ
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — A Greensboro woman was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison for her role in a multi-million dollar urine drug testing scheme, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
On April 9, Jasmine Hoyle, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of health care fraud and one count of money laundering.
According to court documents, Hoyle owned and operated two businesses in Winston-Salem: Harvest Focused & Consulting Services, LLC and The Ultimate Sacrifice, both of which billed Medicaid for services that were not performed, including significant quantities of urine drug tests.
Documents state that on 97 occasions between August 2020 and July 2022, Harvest Focused submitted claims to Medicaid for urine drug tests for a Medicaid beneficiary who had never heard of either business, never received services from those companies and did not provide any urine for urine drug testing.
Throughout the scheme, Medicaid reimbursed Harvest Focused and The Ultimate Sacrificeover $6 million, which Hoyle allegedly used on personal expenses, including the purchase of a Dodge Challenger.
In addition to a sentence of 44 months in prison and three years of supervised release, the court also ordered Hoyle to pay $6,299,738.89 in July 8, Hoyle's former business partner, LaTameria Davis, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States on July 8. Davis's sentencing is scheduled to take place on September 26, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. in Greensboro.
Davis faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a period of supervised release of up to three years, and monetary penalties.
