MADISON - A Monroe man convicted last year in a connection with a $1.44 million Medicaid scam is now the target of a federal false claims lawsuit to recover damages and impose civil penalties.
According to a 23-page complaint filed Thursday in federal court:
Anthony R. Anglin, 29, as owner of Anglin Transport Services, Inc. submitted 55,778 claims for reimbursement of $1.44 million for specialized transportation of Medicaid recipients between February 2006 and May 2010.
Anglin was convicted of Medicaid fraud in January 2012 and placed on three years probation with one year to be served in jail with Huber privileges. He also was to reimburse the Medicaid program for funds he received by fraud but instead has been liquidating assets he obtained from the fraudulent proceeds.
Beginning in 2009, Anglin used some proceeds to buy equipment and material for his concrete and excavating firm, Anglin, LLC, and real estate in Monroe.
After purchasing real estate in 2009, Anglin sold properties at 3021 16th St. and 1807 12th Ave. in 2010 for at least $197,927. He then deposited $135,465 in Anglin LLC's bank account.
He purchased trucks, a backhoe loader, a 2010 Camaro SS, a Buick Enclave SUV and an ATV.
Anglin has also transferred thousands of dollars from Anglin Transport accounts to Angela Meighan, with whom he had a personal relationship.
Anglin undercapitalized Anglin Transport by siphoning off money from Medicaid reimbursement for his personal use and his other firm.
At the time, Anglin Transportation purportedly transported Medicaid beneficiaries by cot or stretcher. However, the company listed only one vehicle, a 1994 Dodge van, among its qualifying vehicle assets. Also, the van didn't have fasteners needed to secure passengers carried on cots or stretchers.
The suit alleged that the company submitted the transportation claims for Medicaid patients it didn't transport or rides that didn't receiving medical services.
The state dissolved Anglin Transport in June 2011.
Anglin faces maximum penalties of $11,000 per violation of the False Claims Act associated with the fraudulent Medicaid billing and tremble damages for the amount he was overpaid.
No court dates have been scheduled in the case but motions for garnishment, attachment and sequestration have been filed under seal with the court.
