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, from St. Charles; Dejuan Bingham, 51, from Florissant; Kimberly Diazascencio, 51; and Thomas Keith, 34, from 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 each. The indictment was issued on February 11, 2026. Green turned herself in on Tuesday, appeared in court, and pleaded not guilty.
According to the indictment, between July 2020 and February 2026, Green—who owned and operated A&L Angels Home Healthcare Services LLC—and Bingham directed Missouri Medicaid patients, including Diazascencio and Keith (who is Diazascencio’s son), to create false timesheet records for home health care services that were never provided. The document also notes that Green was in a romantic relationship with Bingham.
The indictment alleges that A&L Angels billed Medicaid for services during periods when patients were hospitalized and could not have received home health care. In other instances, the company billed for services at dates and times when workers were employed elsewhere by another company. It further states that Green and Bingham created fake timesheets by listing individuals as providers who did not actually deliver the reported services and recruited patients willing to allow their names to be used for fraudulent claims.
Green is also accused of submitting a fraudulent participation agreement to Missouri Medicaid by falsely claiming her company’s providers were registered with the Family Care Safety Registry and had undergone required criminal background checks through the State of Missouri. The indictment says she concealed Bingham’s prior felony drug conviction from state authorities.
Prosecutors allege that public funds obtained through these schemes were spent on personal expenses such as vacations and luxury purchases at retailers like Gucci and Nordstrom.
Charges set forth 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 prosecuting the case.
