Woman Gets Prison Time for Faking Nebraska Health License

dept.-of-justice(AP) — A woman accused of pretending to be a licensed psychologist in Nebraska has been sentenced to four years in prison.

U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg says Annette Crawley, also known as Kenya Sade Bryant, was sentenced Tuesday for health care fraud and false claims.

Prosecutors say Crawley, who formerly lived in Missouri, created a new identity to obtain a Nebraska license and to obtain employment. Between October 2011 and July 2012, she is accused of using her fake name to work at several behavioral service centers in the state.

Records show Crawley treated more than 200 patients at one center and illegally conducted psychological evaluations that were partially paid for by Medicaid, the Social Security Administration and the state of Nebraska.
