Montecito Man Charged with Medi-Cal Fraud


Wednesday, August 18, 2010

Montecito resident John Lund — the owner of six Sacramento area nursing homes who is facing felony charges of allegedly filing tens of thousands of dollars in personal expenses that were then billed to Medi-Cal — is set to appear in a Sacramento court next week. Lund is accused of trying to get Medi-Cal to pay for, among other things, $6,700 Sacramento Kings season tickets, $18,000 in shoes, clothing, and sports equipment, $67,000 in remodeling expenses for work done to his Montecito home, and $3,000 worth of tennis lessons at a private Santa Barbara club. The suspected fraud was caught before any money was paid out to Lund, said prosecutors.
