SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — A South Berwick man was sentenced to 12 months in a New Hampshire jail after pleading guilty Tuesday to presenting false records.
Michael A. Maggiacomo, 52, the former owner of home health care company Alerion Home Care and Wellness Solutions, entered the plea in Merrimack County Superior Court, New Hampshire Attorney General John M. Formella said in a release.
Prosecutors said that between Aug. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2020, Maggiacomo knowingly presented falsified nursing notes in connection with an audit by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services to support Medicaid claims for nursing services that did not actually occur.
"Maggiacomo presented the falsified records with the intent to defraud the Department of Health and Human Services," Formella said.
Maggiacomo was charged with Class B felony presenting false records. He will serve 12 months with all but 30 days suspended in the Merrimack County House of Corrections.
