An ongoing investigation in Albany, Ga., has netted 11 for fraudulently filling out medical insurance claim forms and filing them with AFLAC, the insurance company for both Albany and Dougherty counties.
According to the Dougherty County Sheriff’s Department overpayments of $149,415 have been uncovered.
Albany sanitation worker Tim Hunt and his unemployed wife, Kysheila are believed to be the ring-leaders, while dozens of others could be involved. The Hunts and seven other perpetrators were charged with insurance fraud.
Jonathan West also surrendered to face insurance fraud charges; while a co-worker, Larry Stephens, was arrested while in a courtroom on an unrelated matter.
Six City of Albany sanitation workers and an Albany Water, Gas and Light meter department worker reportedly formed a network of family, friends and co-workers to file bogus insurance claims with AFLAC. Dougherty Sheriff’s Investigators said AFLAC paid nearly $200,000 to those arrested.
