The owner of a Bridgeton, Missouri-based home healthcare company and three associates have been indicted on charges of fraudulently billing the Missouri Medicaid Program for $1.46 million. Daniell Green, 48, of St. Charles; Dejuan Bingham, 51, of Florissant; Kimberly Diazascencio, 51; and Thomas Keith, 34, of East Prairie were charged in U.S. District Court in St. Louis with one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and four counts of health care fraud.

According to the indictment filed on February 11, 2026, Green—who owns and operates A&L Angels Home Healthcare Services LLC—and Bingham directed Missouri Medicaid patients to create false timesheet records for services that were never provided. Among those involved were Diazascencio (Keith’s mother) and Keith himself. The indictment also states that Green was in a romantic relationship with Bingham.

The fraudulent activity is alleged to have taken place between July 2020 and February 2026. The indictment claims that A&L Angels billed Medicaid for services supposedly provided on dates when patients were actually hospitalized or when workers were employed elsewhere at another company. It further alleges that Green and Bingham fabricated timesheet records by listing individuals as healthcare providers who did not deliver the reported services and recruited patients willing to allow their names to be used for false claims.

Additionally, prosecutors say Green submitted a participation agreement to Missouri Medicaid falsely claiming her company’s healthcare providers were registered with the Family Care Safety Registry and had completed criminal background checks required by the state. The indictment also accuses Green of hiding Bingham’s prior felony drug conviction from state authorities.

The defendants are accused of spending public funds obtained through fraudulent means on personal expenses such as vacations and luxury items from Gucci and Nordstrom.

Charges listed in an indictment are accusations only; all defendants are presumed innocent 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.”

The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General along with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Derek Wiseman is handling prosecution.
