The owner of several Dauphin County businesses focusing on healthcare has been arrested — and pleaded guilty — to charges of healthcare and bank fraud.

Mbaya defrauded Medicaid through her home care agency, “Cool Waters, LLC,” which has been a Medicaid provider since 2017, according to the FBI. She also created false records to show that personal assistance services were provided by Cool Waters, LLC, to Medicaid recipients that were not provided, the FBI said. She then manipulated payroll records to prevent the employees listed in those false records from receiving payment, according to the FBI.
