Former VCU basketball captain charged in nearly $600,000 Medicaid fraud and tax case
A former captain of the VCU men’s basketball team has been charged in a nearly $600,000 Medicaid fraud conspiracy case and with tax evasion.
LaMar Taylor, 39, of Bowie, Md., owner of Global Interventions LLC, an Alexandria company that provided Medicaid-contracted day treatment services, was named in a six-page charging document filed Wednesday in federal court in Richmond.
Authorities allege that Taylor and others, including an unidentified co-conspirator who was the company’s billing manager and person responsible for claims submitted to Medicaid for payment and identified in court papers as “CC-1,” conspired from April 2014 through at least last September to commit health care fraud. Taylor is also accused of not paying payroll taxes for his company.
Taylor was an all-state player at John Marshall High School in Richmond and was the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s prep player of the year in 1996-97. He played for the Rams from 1997 to 2001 and was the team captain for 2000-01.
