Missouri Home Health Care Owners Indicted for Medicaid Fraud

ST. LOUIS—The owner of a home health care company based in Bridgeton, Missouri and her associates have been accused of allegedly fraudulently billing the Missouri Medicaid Program $1.46 million.

Daniell Green, 48, of St. Charles; Dejuan Bingham, 51, of Florissant; Kimberly Diazascencio, 51; and Thomas Keith, 34, of East Prairie, Missouri; were indicted Feb. 11, 2026, in United States District Court in St. Louis with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and four counts of health care fraud. Green turned herself in Tuesday, appeared in court and pleaded not guilty.

From July 2020 through February of 2026, Green, the owner and operator of A&L Angels Home Healthcare Services LLC, and Bingham allegedly directed Missouri Medicaid patients, including Diazascencio and Keith, to create false timesheet records showing home health care services that were never provided, the indictment says. Diazascencio is Keith’s mother. Green was in a romantic relationship with Bingham.

According to court documents, A&L Angels billed Medicaid for services on dates when the patients were in the hospital and could not have received home health care services. On other occasions, the company billed for services provided on dates and times when the health care workers were working at a different location for another company, the indictment says. Green and Bingham created fake timesheet records by listing people as health care providers who did not provide the reported services and recruiting Missouri Medicaid patients willing to allow their names to be used to submit fraudulent claims for services that were never provided, the indictment said.

The indictment also said Green submitted a fraudulent participation agreement to Missouri Medicaid, falsely claiming that her company’s health care providers were registered with the Family Care Safety Registry and that their criminal background checks were run through the state of Missouri, as is required to receive reimbursement. Green allegedly concealed Bingham’s prior felony drug conviction from Missouri Medicaid.

The defendants spent fraudulently obtained public funds on personal expenses, including Green’s use of stolen Missouri Medicaid dollars to fund vacations and to purchase home furniture and luxury items from Gucci and Nordstrom, the indictment says.
Charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt.  Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.

“Medicaid is designed to provide essential care for those who need it most—not to finance personal luxuries,” said Linda T. Hanley, special agent in charge for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “These charges underscore HHS-OIG’s commitment to working with our state partners to aggressively pursue those suspected of defrauding health care programs to protect public trust and taxpayer resources.”
