A Greensboro resident has been sentenced to 44 months in prison and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to health care fraud and money laundering related to a scheme involving fraudulent Medicaid claims for urine drug testing. The sentence was announced by Clifton T. Barrett, United States Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina.
Jasmine Hoyle, 35, admitted to submitting false claims through her businesses, Harvest Focused & Consulting Services, LLC and The Ultimate Sacrifice, both located in Winston-Salem. Court documents show that these companies billed Medicaid for services not rendered, including repeated claims for urine drug tests on individuals who had no connection with the businesses and never provided samples. Between August 2020 and July 2022, one such beneficiary was falsely listed for tests on 97 occasions.
Medicaid reimbursed over $6 million to the two companies during the course of the scheme. Authorities reported that Hoyle used some of these funds for personal expenses such as purchasing a Dodge Challenger. In addition to prison time and supervised release, Hoyle has been ordered to pay $6,299,738.89 in restitution.
“Stealing taxpayer dollars from a program that enables our most vulnerable citizens to access health care is reprehensible,” said U.S. Attorney Barrett. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to supporting investigation and prosecution of Medicaid fraud. We thank the federal and state agencies that partner in this effort.”
Kelly J. Blackmon, Special Agent in Charge with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General stated: “Health care providers that fraudulently bill Medicaid for services not provided divert valuable taxpayer funds intended for some of the most vulnerable populations… OIG will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to protect the integrity of Medicaid and other federally funded health care programs.”
Special Agent-In-Charge Donald “Trey” Eakins from IRS-CI Charlotte Field Office emphasized the collaborative nature of this investigation: “Taxpayer’s money allocated to the Medicaid budget is used to provide healthcare services to our vulnerable populations… IRS Criminal Investigation special agents, together with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office will identify, investigate, and prosecute those who enrich themselves by stealing from the federal government and subsequently the taxpayers.”
Acting U.S. Postal Inspector in Charge J. “Buck” Buckley described how financial evidence led investigators forward: “This case is a great example of a successful joint investigation, where we followed the financial footprint of the defendant to uncover evidence and bring them to justice. The resulting prison sentence sends a strong message that we will continue to aggressively purse and investigate those who engage in fraudulent schemes.”
Hoyle’s former business partner LaTameria Davis pleaded guilty on July 8, 2025, to conspiracy to defraud the United States; her sentencing is set for September 26 in Greensboro.
The Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division, North Carolina Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Investigations Division, Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General, and United States Postal Inspection Service are investigating this case. Prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Ashley Waid along with Special Assistant United States Attorney Daniel Spillman.
