A former Arizona nurse practitioner who stole millions in taxpayer money by sending false claims to Medicaid from her outpatient treatment clinic has pleaded guilty to fraud. In a federal courtroom in downtown Phoenix on May 29, Rita Ntusa Anagho, 53, pled guilty to a count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud. She also agreed to pay back nearly $55 million in restitution, which court documents say she used to pay kickbacks, to purchase real estate and vehicles, and to gamble.
