🚨 $6.2 Million Medicaid Fraud Scheme Lands Greensboro Woman in Federal Prison

A Greensboro woman has been sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for orchestrating a multi-million dollar Medicaid fraud scheme involving fake urine drug tests. Jasmine Hoyle, 35, will serve 44 months behind bars, followed by three years of supervised release, and must repay $6,299,738.89 in restitution.

Hoyle pleaded guilty to health care fraud and money laundering after investigators uncovered that her two Winston-Salem businesses—Harvest Focused & Consulting Services, LLC and The Ultimate Sacrifice—billed Medicaid for services that were never provided. Among the most egregious examples: 97 separate claims for urine drug tests tied to a Medicaid beneficiary who had never interacted with either company and never provided a sample.

💰 Over the course of the scheme, Hoyle’s companies pocketed more than $6 million in taxpayer-funded reimbursements. The proceeds were funneled into personal expenses, including the purchase of a Dodge Challenger.

Federal officials condemned the fraud in strong terms:

• U.S. Attorney Clifton T. Barrett called the theft of taxpayer dollars “reprehensible,” emphasizing the commitment to prosecuting Medicaid fraud.
• HHS-OIG Special Agent Kelly J. Blackmon warned that fraudulent billing undermines care for vulnerable populations.
• IRS-CI Special Agent Trey Eakins stressed that agents will continue to pursue those who steal from federal programs.
• U.S. Postal Inspector J. “Buck” Buckley highlighted the success of the joint investigation that followed Hoyle’s financial trail to justice.

Hoyle’s former business partner, LaTameria Davis, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States. Her sentencing is scheduled for September 26, 2025, and she faces up to five years in prison.

This case is a stark reminder of how easily Medicaid can be exploited—and how critical it is to hold perpetrators accountable. Fraud like this doesn’t just steal money; it steals trust, resources, and care from those who need it most.
