Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Attorney General’s Office today announced that they have entered into a civil settlement with Revolution Youth, Inc., which operates the Eden Valley mental health clinic in Burlington, Vermont. Under the terms of the settlement, Revolution Youth will pay $200,000 in damages and penalties to the State of Vermont to resolve allegations of Medicaid fraud pursuant to the False Claims Act.
The allegations of Medicaid fraud came to light as a result of an investigation by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Residential Abuse Unit (MFRAU), which found that in February 2025, Revolution Youth, through its Vice President and Clinical Director Savannah Lord, submitted to the Department of Vermont Health Access more than 150 false records that had been materially altered or fabricated. These falsified records related to prior Medicaid claims that had already been paid by the State. In addition, between May 2022 and December 2024, Revolution Youth submitted at least 250 false Medicaid claims for services that did not meet the State’s minimum treatment and medical documentation standards. The settlement acknowledges the important role that mental health providers play in Vermont’s Medicaid program.
“Vermont depends on every health care dollar to ensure vital care for the most vulnerable members of our communities,” said Attorney General Charity Clark. “Mental health resources for the youth of our community are particularly crucial. Those who fraudulently claim Medicaid payments deplete these shared resources, harming the people who rely on them.”
