The continued efforts of General Coleman’s administration prioritize the investigation and prosecution of Medicaid fraud. In 2026 thus far, the Office has also participated in securing 14 indictments on state and federal health care charges.

As it relates to Kentucky’s role in the National Health Care Fraud Takedown, six individuals now face state or federal charges. According to court documents, they scammed the Medicaid system out of at least $10.8 million dollars.

Angela Renfro, of Louisville, founder of Kristy Love Foundation, was federally indicted on 32 total counts including 28 counts of Health Care Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Health Care Fraud, and three counts of Aggravated Identity Theft.

Briana Gosnell, of Louisville, was federally indicted for 18 counts of Health Care Fraud, two counts of Aggravated Identity Theft, and one count of Conspiracy to Commit Health Care Fraud.

According to the indictments, both defendants, through KLF Company LLC and Freedom Center LLC, submitted more than $11 million in fraudulent Medicaid claims between August 2021 and January 2024. This allegedly resulted in more than $10 million in fraudulent and unauthorized claims paid out by Medicaid.

A Jefferson County Grand Jury indicted Christine N. Allen of Louisville, with Presenting Fraudulent Claims to Defraud the Kentucky Medical Assistance Program over $1,000 (Class D Felony), in connection with causing Kentucky Medicaid to be billed for services that were never provided in the amount of $6,732.00.

A Boone County Grand Jury indicted Tyler Vanway of Erlanger with one count of Presenting Fraudulent Claims to Defraud the Kentucky Medicaid Assistance Program over $1,000 (Class D Felony ), one count of Devising a Plan or Scheme or Artifice to Obtain Benefits by Means of False Representation, which resulted in Medicaid being billed $121,825.92 on behalf of Medicaid benefits for Vanway and his family (Class D Felony), with Medicaid paying $26,869.73 for those benefits, three counts of Forgery of a Prescription (Class D Felony) and one count of Theft by Deception (Class D Felony).

Ana Vanway, also of Erlanger, was indicted on one count of Presenting Fraudulent Claims to Defraud the Kentucky Medicaid Program over $1,000 (Class D), and one count of Devising a Plan or Scheme or Artifice to Obtain Benefits by Means of False Representation (Class D Felony).

A Laurel County Grand Jury indicted Anastasia Jandes, 51, Lexington, with two counts of Theft by Deception $10,000 or more, (Class C Felony), and five counts of Theft by Deception $1,000 or more but less than $10,000 (Class D Felony). The alleged loss amount to Medicaid recipients is $66,358.45.

In addition to dedicating investigators and prosecutors to the Takedown effort, Attorney General Coleman was part of a group of state AGs who traveled to Washington D.C. last month. General Coleman joined Vice President J.D. Vance at the White House as part of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. 

“This is what collaboration among the Trump Administration and law enforcement looks like as we take on everything from benefits fraud to violent crime,” said Attorney General Russell Coleman. “By working with our state and federal partners we can protect taxpayer dollars and preserve vital services for those who need them most.”

The charges in an indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
