Louisiana woman accused of using Medicaid fraud funds to buy Lamborghini, plastic surgery

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office arrested a Slidell woman who is accused of Medicaid fraud.

According to a news release, investigators were notified of a complaint from the Louisiana Department of Health accusing Candace Taylor, 35, of committing Medicaid Recipient Fraud. The complaint said Taylor underreported her income to receive Medicaid benefits.

The AG’s Office said that between 2020 and 2024, Taylor applied for and received Medicaid benefits. During that time, Taylor’s businesses reportedly generated over $9.5 million in revenue. In 2020, records show that Taylor’s account recorded deposits of over $480,000, as well as $45,000 in vehicle payments, multiple six-figure withdrawals for property purchases, cosmetic surgery, jewelry, and a $100,000 wire transfer for a 2022 Lamborghini Urus.

In 2024, two months after buying the Lamborghini, Taylor contacted LDH to renew her benefits, claiming that her income was $2,000 per month, omitting the fact that she was a business owner.
