TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas attorney general is investigating a nonprofit organization that has a state contract to serve mental health patients across the state.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that about $1 million in Medicaid funding might have been embezzled from Kansas Health Solutions.
The organization is a subsidiary of the Association of Community Mental Health Centers, which includes 27 mental health clinics with a provider network in all 105 counties.
A spokesman for Attorney General Derek Schmidt confirmed that the office has accepted the case for review.
The organization’s former chief financial officer and executive director both left the organization this summer.
The Capital-Journal reports that former CFO Jason Sellers is the central target of the investigation. He’s suspected of creating a false billing arrangement to skim cash.
