ATLANTA, GA – Attorney General Chris Carr today announced that William David Miller, 55, of Atlanta, has been indicted in Fulton County on 26 counts of felony Medicaid Fraud and three counts of felony Forgery in the Second Degree. As the sole healthcare provider for his company Domina Umbrae, LLC., Miller is alleged to have submitted fraudulent claims for services he did not provide and to have then retained payments for those claims.

“We are working each day to protect taxpayer dollars by putting a stop to Medicaid fraud in our state,” said Carr. “Ensuring the integrity of providers and services is a key part of our efforts. Georgia’s Medicaid program is meant to care for our most vulnerable, and we will not tolerate those who would abuse this public trust.”
