WKRC) – A Clifton man pleaded guilty to impersonating a nurse for nearly four years. Martez Morris, 28, used a stolen identity to get hired as a licensed practical nurse at a couple of Tri-State locations.
Morris stole the identity of a real nurse and created fake documents to get jobs at Cincinnati area home health agencies.
Ohio Attorney General, whose Health Care Fraud section prosecuted the case, said Morris cared for several children and a disabled adult. He gave breathing treatments to a toddler, administered medicine and cleaned the child's feeding tube, in one case.
Morris worked for Target Home Healthcare in Springdale for a time. An
official there said there were no complaints about him from patients.
He also worked at Loving Care Transitional in Butler County. A patient complained that Morris was late several times to appointments. That's when Medicaid started to investigate and then alerted the attorney general's office.
Morris pleaded guilty to identify fraud, tampering with public records, Medicaid fraud and practicing nursing without a license.
He'll be sentenced on Dec. 17.
