On April 2, 2026, 54-year-old Hasan Jermel Pulliam was sentenced to 54 months in prison. The court also ordered three years of supervised release following his sentence and required him to pay $718,967.20 in restitution to the Alabama Medicaid Agency. There is no parole in the federal system.
“This sentence reflects our commitment to protecting taxpayer resources and upholding the rule of law in Alabama,” said Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. “I commend our Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for their excellent work on this case, and I thank our federal partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and HHS-OIG for their collaboration in holding Mr. Pulliam accountable for defrauding Alabama taxpayers of over $700,000. We will continue this collaborative effort to root out fraud and ensure justice is served.”…
