By Devina Bhalla
Hellen Kiago of Sturbridge, convicted of stealing $2.5 million from MassHealth on May 15, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison on Tuesday.
Kiago and her company, Lifestream Healthcare Alliance, were ordered to pay $130,000 in fines, with the amount to be paid back to MassHealth will be determined later.
Kiago will serve 18 months in the house of correction with the remaining balance suspended for a year.
“This defendant stole millions of dollars from MassHealth, patients, and taxpayers,” Attorney General Maura Healey said in a statement. “Medicaid fraud puts the state’s health care resources for our most vulnerable reside."
