A federal grand jury in Pittsburgh has issued a superseding indictment against Kelley Oliver-Hollis, 61, of East Hills. The new charges include health care fraud, making false statements relating to health care matters, concealment of material facts related to health care matters, money laundering, and misuse of Social Security benefits by a representative payee. Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti announced the indictment.

According to the indictment, between December 2016 and July 2023, Oliver-Hollis owned SerenityCare LLC in Penn Hills and allegedly overbilled Pennsylvania Medicaid for services provided to residents with intellectual disabilities. Oliver-Hollis was previously indicted on 33 counts in April 2024.

The maximum penalty for the health care fraud and money laundering charges is up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The charges related to false statements, concealment of material facts concerning health care matters, and Social Security fraud each carry a potential sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing will be determined according to federal guidelines based on the severity of the offenses and any prior criminal history.

Assistant United States Attorney Gregory C. Melucci is prosecuting the case. The investigation was conducted by several agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Department of Labor, Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office, and Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.

“A superseding indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office noted that efforts to address healthcare fraud often rely on community tips. Suspected fraud can be reported via email at WDPAhealthcarefraud@fbi.gov or by calling the Department of Health and Human Services at 1-800-HHS-TIPS.
