(Mt. Pleasant, UT) — A 74-year-old licensed marriage and family therapist is facing charges connected with claims he committed Medicaid billing fraud. Investigators say Michael Evan Blair of St. George was charged Monday with two counts of violating the Utah False Claims Act, a second-degree felony. He is alleged to have signed paperwork for patients he never saw for therapy at a behavioral health treatment center. Blair is now the fourth person from the Mt. Pleasant-based Measures of Affect Theoretically Relative, commonly referred to as MATR, to be charged for allegedly defrauding the system of nearly 13 million dollars.
