Reese’s application to Company A also included a copy of a fraudulent license claiming she was licensed as a clinical psychologist with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. She also allegedly submitted an IPLA identification number and falsely claimed it was hers. During Reese’s employment at Company A, Indiana Medicaid paid more than $36,000 for services Reese claimed she provided. Reese was terminated from her job around Sept. 24, 2021.
