Speech pathologist indicted for fraud

A speech pathologist who provided therapy services to DeKalb County students has been indicted for Medicaid fraud.

A DeKalb grand jury this week charged Kenneth A. Thisdale for allegedly submitting false Medicaid claims for more speech therapy services than he actually provided and for services that he never provided, the state Attorney General's Office said. The indictment also alleged that Thisdale falsified patient charts to conceal the approximately $800,000 in fraudulent billing.
