The prosecution rested minutes before noon today in the trial of Vivian Mundy, owner of Cognitive Care Connections of Emporia and Topeka.
Mundy has been accused of multiple felony counts of overbilling Medicaid in a variety of ways, from overlapping service provider times to shopping while billing for providing therapy to Brain Trauma Injury clients.
This morning's testimony began with a 90-minute tape recording of an interview with Mundy conducted by Mark Montague, fraud investigator with the Attorney General's office. Also present at the meeting was Medicaid analyst Camille McKinney, who had created spreadsheets outlining discrepancies in Cognitive Care's billings.
Mundy said during the interview that she had no business experience before opening the company and attributed early mistakes to "plain stupidity."
