Medical receptionist who defrauded Medicare to fund lavish lifestyle, jailed for a year
Co-workers say they wondered about the fancy shoes and Gucci scarves, but never imagined what was going on ‘behind the scenes’
A medical receptionist will spend 12 months behind bars after she stole nearly $200,000 from Medicare because she believed she was not paid enough.
Sarah Ward, 31, made more than 1600 false claims to Medicare, sometimes up to 80 a day, while working at the Melbourne Digestive Centre.
