A Huntington, West Virginia woman has been sentenced to three years and a month in federal prison for embezzling $1.1 million from her company’s clients.
Andrea Mills formerly owned Allied Benefit Administrators Inc., a third-party administrator of employee health-benefit claims.
The 49-year-old Mills admitted embezzling $1.1 million in premiums that her clients paid for reinsurance, payments that were to limit their exposure under the benefit plans they offered.
As a result of her actions, clients lost $2.3 million in health claims that should have been covered by reinsurance but weren’t. U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers ordered Mills to pay that amount as restitution.
