A Greensboro woman has been sentenced to 44 months in prison and three years of supervised release for her role in a scheme involving fraudulent Medicaid claims for urine drug testing. Jasmine Hoyle, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of health care fraud and one count of money laundering earlier this year. She was also ordered by the court to pay restitution totaling $6,299,738.89.
Court documents indicate that Hoyle owned and operated two businesses in Winston-Salem: Harvest Focused & Consulting Services, LLC and The Ultimate Sacrifice. These companies billed Medicaid for services not performed, including large numbers of urine drug tests. On nearly 100 occasions between August 2020 and July 2022, Harvest Focused submitted claims for tests for a beneficiary who had no knowledge of either business and did not provide any samples.
The fraudulent activity resulted in over $6 million in Medicaid reimbursements to the two companies. According to authorities, Hoyle used the proceeds on personal expenses such as purchasing a Dodge Challenger.
“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.”
“Health care providers that fraudulently bill Medicaid for services not provided divert valuable taxpayer funds intended for some of the most vulnerable populations,” said Special Agent in Charge Kelly J. Blackmon with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General. “OIG will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to protect the integrity of Medicaid and other federally funded health care programs.”
“Taxpayer’s money allocated to the Medicaid budget is used to provide healthcare services to our vulnerable populations,” said Special Agent-In-Charge Donald “Trey” Eakins, IRS-CI Charlotte Field Office. “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.”
“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,” said Acting U.S. Postal Inspector in Charge J. “Buck” Buckley, of the Atlanta Division.
Hoyle’s former business partner LaTameria Davis pleaded guilty on July 8, 2025, to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States; sentencing is scheduled for September 26, 2025.
The case was investigated by multiple agencies including IRS 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.
