Clifton Davis, 51, was recently arrested by the Izard County Sheriff’s Office and transported to the Izard County Detention Facility on one count of Medicaid fraud. He is accused of signing billing documents for care provided by his wife, totaling more than $10,000, a Class B felony. Pursuant to Medicaid Program regulations, individuals are not allowed to charge Medicaid for providing care to their spouse.
Davis’ wife, Anna Moore, 59, of Melbourne, was arrested this past summer on similar charges and pleaded not guilty in September. An omnibus hearing is scheduled for January.
This case was referred to the Attorney General’s office by the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General.
