A Kansas City man now admits the relative he was providing Medicaid-funded health care to was in fact behind bars.

William Taylor pleaded no contest Thursday to theft and making false claims to Kansas Medicaid program.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says the 49-year-old Taylor submitted time sheets indicating he had provided Personal Care Attendant services to a relative, when his relative was actually incarcerated in the Johnson County Jail.

As part of the plea, Taylor must serve 30 days in jail and pay restitution in the amount of $2,689.83 to the Kansas Medicaid Program. Sentencing is set for May 23.
