MEMPHIS – An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Medicaid Fraud Control Division has resulted in the arrest of a Memphis woman.

In July of 2025, TBI received information from the BlueCare Special Investigations Unit, alleging a caregiver had submitted fraudulent claims to TennCare. During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that between February 2024 and April 2025, Iris Shaw (DOB 12/4/85) submitted 135 hours of overlapping caregiver services, which is a violation of TennCare rules.

On April 16, TBI agents secured an arrest warrant charging Shaw with one count of TennCare Fraud and one count of Theft of Property ($2,500-$10,000).  Shaw was booked into the Shelby County Jail and released on her own recognizance.
