Adult Education Employee Charged with Health Care Fraud, Placed on Leave
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Today, the City of New Haven announced that earlier this week it had been notified by the U.S. Department of Justice that Cortney Dunlap, a New Haven Board of Education Adult Education employee, had been arrested and charged with health care fraud and making false statements relating to health care matters. Dunlap was allegedly engaged in numerous instances of Medicaid fraud by billing for psychotherapy sessions that were never provided and subsequently arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“New Haven Public Schools takes personal information very seriously, and we will conduct an internal investigation into this matter to ensure that individuals’ personal information is not compromised,” said New Haven Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Iline Tracey.
Dunlap has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation from City Labor Relations working with the New Haven Public Schools. Dunlap’s work devices have been seized by New Haven Public Schools Security. New Haven Public Schools security cut off Dunlap’s access to personal information, access to New Haven Public Schools facilities and seized his equipment on August 28, 2020 in response to the federal investigation.
