Woman charged with TennCare fraud for claiming her kids lived at home

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – A Hamilton County woman has been charged with TennCare fraud.

Officials say 56 year old Tami P. Brouillard claimed that her children lived in her household, but they don’t.

Without them, she didn’t qualify for TennCare.

Brouillard is charged with TennCare fraud and theft of services over $10,000.

“People who commit TennCare fraud are taking something they’re not entitled to, and they’re taking it from all the taxpayers of Tennessee,” Inspector General Manny Tyndall said. “When you lie, cheat, or steal to obtain TennCare benefits, you will get caught.”
