\"MalletANCHORAGE, Alaska<\/strong><\/span> \u2014 A 73-year-old Anchorage woman pleaded guilty to submitting approximately $2.7 million in fraudulent mental health care claims to the Veterans Health Administration, federal prosecutors announced Monday.<\/p>\n

Marianne Rolland<\/strong>, owner and operator of White Raven Healing Services LLC, admitted submitting 2,833 false claims between 2020 and February 2026, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska.<\/p>\n

The Veterans Health Administration paid $1.8 million in fraudulent claims.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Rolland falsely represented herself to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a licensed clinical social worker to obtain authorization to provide mental health services to veterans.<\/p>\n

Rolland also admitted employing an unlicensed individual to provide mental health counseling and billing the VA as though she had personally performed those services.<\/p>\n

\"\"Federal prosecutors said Rolland engaged in several fraudulent billing practices, including submitting claims using prefilled diagnosis codes without first diagnosing patients.<\/p>\n

She also admitted billing for services while traveling outside Alaska and the United States, falsely reporting remote counseling sessions as in-person visits and improperly billing for prolonged services.<\/p>\n

Under the plea agreement, Rolland agreed to repay $1.8 million in restitution, including $1.1 million by her sentencing date.<\/p>\n

Rolland faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n

Her sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2027, at 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General investigated the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cExploiting veterans seeking mental health care and submitting millions of dollars in fraudulent claims is a serious breach of trust,\u201d VA Inspector General Cheryl L. Mason said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Mason said the investigation underscores the agency’s commitment to protecting veterans, preserving patient safety and safeguarding taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n
