BENNINGTON — A Bennington family has been convicted of multiple felonies arising out of what police call a scheme to defraud Vermont Medicaid.
Patrick Morse, 64, Ellie May Morse, 43, and Donald Morse, 23, of Bennington, Vermont, were convicted in Vermont Superior Court, Windsor Criminal Division, of multiple felony counts of Medicaid Fraud, stemming from fraudulent claims worth more than $100,000 submitted over a period of five years to the Vermont Medicaid Children's Personal Care Services ("PCS") Program..
According to the attorney general's office, Patrick Morse was convicted on nine counts, Ellie May Morse was convicted on six counts, and Donald Morse was convicted on three counts. All three had entered guilty pleas to the charges.
For five years, Patrick and Ellie May Morse submitted claims for payments from the PCS program for services rendered to three individuals. They hired Donald, another family member, and an acquaintance to provide these services. According to the attorney general's office, however, these services were frequently not rendered. Patrick and Ellie May falsified timesheets and submitted to the PCS for reimbursement, knowing that the services had not been rendered.
