Taxi Manager Caught Stealing $650K from Medicaid: Shocking Details Revealed!
A manager of a Saratoga County taxi company has confessed to stealing over $650,000 from Medicaid. Richard Sehl, 57, pleaded guilty to the charges in Rensselaer County Court on November 26. Sehl, who worked as a manager at Medi Cab, admitted to his involvement in a fraudulent scheme where Medicaid was billed for medical appointment trips that never actually happened.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, Sehl submitted claims for fake trips and fabricated mileage between December 2021 and March 2023. This fraudulent activity led to significant financial losses for Medicaid, a program designed to help people with medical expenses.
As part of his guilty plea, Sehl will be sentenced to five years of probation on January 27. This case is part of a broader investigation led by Attorney General Letitia James, which focuses on fraudulent billing practices and illegal kickback schemes. Four additional individuals have been convicted in connection with similar cases so far.
The Attorney General’s Office has been cracking down on those who exploit public healthcare programs, ensuring accountability and protecting taxpayer dollars. This case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to root out corruption and uphold the integrity of systems meant to support the public.
