State revokes counselor's license for fraudulent billing

December 18, 2013

On September 13, 2013, the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners revoked the license of licensed professional counselor Trisha McMahon based on a complaint filed against her by her former employer, alleging fraudulent billing and/or double billing. A review by the former employer found that in a one-year period, 43% of McMahon’s billings were for services with start or end times that overlapped with other billed services. It was also found that McMahon failed to complete clinical assessment documentation.
