FOX 10 Phoenix | Felon, ex-doctor linked to Arizona's sober living scheme @Fox10Phoenix | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
A convicted felon and ex-doctor is linked to a behavioral health provider now suspended by Arizona's Medicaid system.
FOX 10 extensively reported on the sober living scandal that Arizona leaders say cost the state an estimated $2.5 billion by preying on vulnerable people struggling with addiction.
The crisis led to a massive crackdown on Medicaid fraud in 2023. It left many people on the streets in Arizona after sober living homes and group homes impacted by suspensions were shut down.
Achievers Dynamic Systems International LLC used to be an outpatient treatment center, licensed by the state as a behavior health facility until April of this year.
It was located at a business plaza in north Phoenix on Cave Creek Road.
Back in July, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) suspended payments due to credible allegations of fraud.
The notice of suspension accuses Achievers of excessive billing, suspicious billing patterns and failing to comply with AHCCCS policy, including incomplete, inconsistent, unsigned and undated patient assessments.
What also stands out in this suspension is the employment of Edward Sayegh.
