Illinois Attorney General charges three people in two Medicaid fraud cases

🇺🇸 HHS OIG · Fri 13 Nov 2026

Kwame Raoul's office has announced charges over alleged Medicaid fraud, naming two Palos Heights women; the source gives no link to medicines or pharmaceutical firms.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul has announced charges against three individuals accused of defrauding the state of thousands of dollars in Medicaid funds. The announcement covers two separate cases and was relayed through the HHS OIG enforcement feed. The action is logged as 6 November 2026.

The only defendants named in the available text are Alexandria Dzimitowicz, 32, and Jacqueline Dzimitowicz, 62, both of Palos Heights, Illinois. The Attorney General's office has charged them in Cook County Circuit Court with one count of vendor fraud, two counts of theft and one count of forgery.

Vendor fraud and each theft count are Class 1 felonies, each punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Forgery is a Class 3 felony, punishable by up to five years. Both women are next due in court on 16 December.

The source does not identify the third defendant or describe the second case. It also does not say what the alleged conduct involved, which Medicaid services were affected, or whether medicines or pharmacy billing played any part. The charges are allegations, and no outcome has been reported.

What it means for your team

  • No pharmaceutical, pharmacy or drug-pricing link is stated, so there is no direct action for most pharma compliance or market-access teams.
  • The item shows that state-level enforcement of Medicaid fraud continues alongside federal activity. Medicaid is jointly funded by federal and state governments.
  • Teams tracking Medicaid integrity risk may want to watch for further detail on the second case and the third defendant, as the source gives none.
