TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that a Madison County man has been arrested on charges he defrauded the Florida Medicaid program out of more than $34,000. Gianni Phillipians Jackson, 67, was arrested today by law enforcement officers with the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit with assistance from the Madison Police Department.

Acting on information received from the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, Medicaid Fraud investigators discovered that Jackson submitted numerous claims for services he never provided. Jackson also billed the Medicaid program for services while he was out of the state.

Jackson is charged with one count of Medicaid fraud and one count of organized scheme to defraud, both second-degree felonies. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. The case will be prosecuted by State Attorney’s Office for the Third Judicial Circuit.
