Kyle Perkins Indicted for Conspiracy to Commit Medicaid Fraud

Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella announces that the Merrimack County Grand Jury has indicted Kyle Perkins, 32, of Concord, on charges of Conspiracy to Commit Medicaid Fraud (Class B Felony), Identity Fraud (Class A Felony), and Theft by Deception (Class A Felony).
 
The indictments allege that from May 2020 to March 2023, Perkins collaborated with others to submit falsified transportation reimbursement forms to Coordinated Transportation Solutions, a contractor managing Medicaid transportation in New Hampshire. The forms falsely claimed certain Medicaid recipients drove themselves to medical appointments, inflating reimbursement amounts.
 
Key allegations include:

• Recruiting participants via Facebook and discussing profit-sharing;
• Submitting fraudulent forms using the identities of Jonathan Lopes, Charles Shadle, and Amanda Demers;
• Directing funds meant for those individuals to specific bank accounts;
• Impersonating Lopes in an August 10, 2021 phone call to defraud the transportation contractor;
• Fraudulently obtaining over $1,500 from the New Hampshire Emergency Rental Assistance Program.

 
Each charge includes potential sentence enhancements, as Perkins was under bail conditions at the time. He was previously indicted for separate Medicaid fraud and theft offenses, with trial set for August 19, 2025.
 
Perkins is scheduled for arraignment on the new charges on May 5, 2025, in Merrimack County Superior Court. He remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
 
Class A felonies carry up to 15 years in prison and a $4,000 fine; Class B felonies up to 7 years and a $4,000 fine.
 
The case was investigated by Investigator Andrew Player and Financial Investigator Timothy Brackett of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit with assistance from the Concord Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Senior Assistant Attorney General Thomas T. Worboys and Assistant Attorney General Andrew Yourell of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
