Feds Conduct Raids for Medicaid Fraud in Minnesota

Alphanews

“Since Minnesota became the first state to offer Medicaid coverage for Housing Stabilization Services, dozens of new companies have been created and enrolled in the program. These companies, and the individuals who run them, have taken advantage of the housing crisis and the drug addiction crisis in Minnesota to prey on individuals who need help getting back on their feet as they recover from drug addiction,” the warrant says.

“These companies and individuals do so by contacting Medicaid-eligible people in halfway houses and residential drug treatment facilities and offering to help them find stable housing. After registering these people to receive housing stabilization services, the companies fraudulently claim to provide dozens of Program service hours to their new ‘clients.’ In reality, client after client has reported that they received little or no actual services or assistance from these companies. But the companies engaged in this scheme have received millions of dollars in Medicaid funds for housing stabilization services they did not actually provide,” it continues.

HSS providers can bill Medicaid for providing all kinds of housing-related services, including: consultations, housing transition services, housing sustaining services, moving expenses, and other services. More

  1. The first problem is this being funded by Medicaid. Secondly “companies” plural providing “services”. Need to employ those various and sundry social services degreed dipwads. Look! Free money! Everybody from state employees thru the various companies needs to go to jail for a very long time.

  2. You could conduct raids in EVERY CITY, at EVERY HOSPITAL, nearly every doctor’s office, etc. Easy money and a government protected medical cartel will get you corruption every time.
