Greensboro, N.C. - A Yadkinville woman was sentenced to 24 months of imprisonment, 13 months of home detention, and two years of supervised release in connection with a scheme to submit fraudulent claims for incontinence products to Medicaid, announced United States Attorney Dan Bishop of the Middle District of North Carolina (MDNC). Kathy Briggs, 65, pled guilty to one count of health care fraud on October 8, 2025. The court also ordered Briggs to pay restitution totaling $2,483,855.72. According to court documents, Briggs co-owned Neveah & Company d/b/a Restorative Medical located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Restorative Medical had contracts with approximately 50 assisted living facilities across the state to supply incontinence supplies, such as adult diapers, and other products for the residents in those facilities. Between around 2018 and January 2024, Restorative Medical, at Briggs's direction, consistently and fraudulently submitted claims to Medicaid for the maximum number of incontinence products per patient that Medicaid would reimburse.
