 Two New Yorkers charged in alleged $1.8 million Medicaid fraud scheme

The owner of a Schenectady County medical transport company and his office manager have been charged in connection with an alleged $1.86 million Medicaid fraud scheme.

Mohammad Chaudhry, 43, who owns Angel Medical Transportation, faces seven criminal counts, including grand larceny, providing false information to a health care plan, and receiving unentitled benefits. His office manager, 45-year-old Noah Shook, was charged with money laundering linked to the alleged scheme.

Authorities say Chaudhry inflated Medicaid claims by submitting bills for rides that never occurred, charging multiple times for the same mileage, and misrepresenting trip destinations to increase payments. Shook is accused of issuing kickbacks to Medicaid recipients. The alleged activity took place from January 2020 through September 2024.

State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli and Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney emphasized that the case highlights ongoing issues of fraud within the health care system. Chaudhry pleaded not guilty in Schenectady County Court and was released on bail ahead of a Nov. 12 court appearance.
