Georgia Woman Charged with Forging Hospital Invoices in $1.5M Insurance Fraud

A Georgia woman has been charged with faking hospital reports to the tune of $1.5 million in an effort to defraud her insurance companies, authorities said.

Denna Rochelle Conaway, 54, of Rome, Georgia, claimed that her son was involved in a car accident in Miami in 2022 and needed surgery, according to the Floyd County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia news reports. She also claimed that she had fallen while hiking in Arizona and that she was injured in a purse snatching.

The woman submitted allegedly fake invoices for medical procedures in Oklahoma, Miami and Los Angeles – procedures for which hospitals had no records, the Coosa Valley News and others reported.

One insurer paid out $10,250 on a claim before investigators began checking into her actions, authorities said.
