Attorney General Chris Koster announced Tuesday that he has settled claims against Just What the Doctor Ordered, Inc., and its owner/operator Teresa Linneman, for submitting false claims to Medicaid.

The agreement requires Linneman and JWTDO to pay the state fines and reimbursements totaling $217,562.64.

The bogus claims were for more than 27,000 diapers that were never provided to Medicaid clients.

Just What the Doctor Ordered (JWTDO), located in Fayette, provides durable medical equipment and incontinence supplies for adults and children to Medicaid clients.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, JWTDO and Teresa Linneman have admitted criminal liability. They have agreed to pay the MO HealthNet Fraud Reimbursement Fund $207,562.64 for restitution, damages, and penalties, plus another $10,000.00 to the MO HealthNet Fraud Prosecution Revolving Fund for the costs of the investigation.

The agreement also prohibits Teresa Linneman from billing Medicaid or having a financial interest or billing/coding responsibilities at any company that submits claims for reimbursement to Medicaid.
