Iowa Attorney Sentenced for Rolls Royce Medicaid Eligibility Fraud Scheme
A federal judge sentenced Iowa attorney Timothy Anderson to six months in prison, a $25,000 fine, and $184,274 in restitution to Iowa Medicaid after he pleaded guilty to making false statements in a healthcare matter. Anderson had helped an elderly couple try to shelter over $400,000 in assets to qualify for Medicaid-funded nursing home care by submitting a falsified vehicle valuation involving his inoperable 1961 Rolls Royce Phantom V. Iowa Medicaid rejected the application, triggering an FBI investigation that led to the criminal charge. The Iowa Supreme Court has also temporarily suspended Anderson's law license following his guilty plea.
The case underscores heightened federal and state scrutiny of asset-sheltering schemes used to manufacture Medicaid nursing home eligibility, putting elder-law practitioners and Medicaid eligibility caseworkers on notice of increased fraud enforcement.
