A Pittsburgh resident has pleaded guilty to health care fraud in federal court, according to Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti. Kelley Oliver-Hollis, 61, entered her plea before United States District Judge William S. Stickman IV.
Oliver-Hollis admitted guilt not only to the health care fraud charge but also acknowledged responsibility for 39 additional counts listed in a Superseding Indictment from August 2025. These include making false statements related to health care matters, concealing material facts concerning health care issues, money laundering, and misuse of Social Security benefits by a representative payee.
“Through her plea, Oliver-Hollis also acknowledged responsibility for 39 other counts with which she was charged by Superseding Indictment in August 2025, including 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 (read the Superseding Indictment news release here).”
Court records show that Oliver-Hollis operated Serenitycare LLC as an enrolled Medicaid provider under Pennsylvania’s Home and Community-Based Services Waiver Program. She was responsible for housing and providing services to several intellectually disabled adults in Penn Hills. Between 2018 and 2023, program documentation indicated that she did not adequately staff these homes as required but still submitted claims falsely stating proper staffing had occurred. The homes were cited multiple times due to unsanitary and unsafe living conditions.
Judge Stickman has set sentencing for February 10, 2026. Oliver-Hollis faces up to ten years in prison and a possible fine of $250,000 or both. The final sentence will depend on the seriousness of the offense and any prior criminal history.
Assistant United States Attorneys Gregory C. Melucci and Brendan J. McKenna are handling the prosecution.
The investigation was conducted by several agencies: the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General; Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office; Department of Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General; Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; Social Security Administration-Office of the Inspector General; and U.S. Department of Labor-Office of Inspector General.
