2026-10-21 · 城市 · GSM News事件

据《纽约邮报》10月21日报道,联邦医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心(CMS)署长 Mehmet Oz 于10月20日(周二)亲自走访位于纽约州皇后县法拉盛(Flushing)的 Kent Senior Care 与 Evergreen Adult Day Care 两家老年日托机构,当面质疑其账单问题并送交警告信;纽约市80多家老年中心同日被纳入这一轮针对涉嫌医疗补助(Medicaid)欺诈的联邦与州联合行动,联邦调查局(FBI)、美国卫生与公众服务部监察长办公室与纽约市警察局均参与了周二的行动,布碌仑至少两家成人日托机构也被突击检查。

Oz 在走访中指出,Kent Senior Care 核定容量为70人,负责人称更多客人会在当天晚些时候到来,但该机构的账单却像是全天满员运作;账单显示老人每周到场五天,负责人则承认许多人通常只来两三天。Oz 还质疑该机构就轮椅老人接送服务的收费,他说:“我在这里没看到任何轮椅。”看到机构内摆着多张麻将桌时,Oz 问:“该由美国纳税人出钱让大家打麻将吗?”负责人回应称,麻将有助于老人活动手指、社交并改善记忆。Oz 对随行的 Fox News Digital 表示:“整个经历都很可疑。”他说:“这会是无心之失吗?错上一百次?我不这么认为。”Oz 表示,这类执法走访将在纽约州继续进行。Kent Senior Care 拒绝置评,Evergreen Adult Day Care 未回应置评请求。

前情:本站此前已报道,纽约州与联邦于10月20日展开联合大执法,州长 Kathy Hochul 称这是州与联邦及地方执法部门针对社会成人日托项目涉嫌医疗补助欺诈的联合行动,全市逾百家机构被查。同日,美国司法部公布总额2500万美元的欺诈举报人激励计划(WHIP),由财政部出资、司法部负责执行,对提供促成刑事指控信息的举报人奖励1万至3万美元。

Follow-Up: CMS Administrator Visits Two Flushing Senior Care Centers as More Than 80 Facilities Are Put on Notice

Federal and state authorities put more than 80 New York City senior centers on notice on Tuesday, October 20, including two in Flushing, Queens County, New York, that received a personal visit from Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), according to the New York Post on October 21. The Tuesday sweep, part of a crackdown on suspected Medicaid fraud, involved the FBI, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the NYPD, and included raids on at least two Brooklyn adult day care centers.

Oz confronted staff at Kent Senior Care and Evergreen Adult Day Care in Flushing, handing out letters alerting them that their billing practices were under scrutiny. Kent Senior Care has a capacity of 70, and its director said more clients would arrive later in the day, but Oz said the bills were being submitted as though the center were completely full all the time. He also noted the center's billing reflected seniors attending five days a week, while the director acknowledged many typically attended only two or three days, and he questioned billing for transportation for wheelchair-bound seniors, telling the director, “I don't see any wheelchairs here.” Finding several mahjong tables set up, Oz asked, “Should the American taxpayers be paying so folks can play mahjong?” The director said mahjong helps seniors exercise their fingers, socialize and improve their memory, particularly those with cognitive difficulties. “The whole experience was suspicious,” Oz told Fox News Digital, which accompanied him on the visits. “Is it an innocent mistake? A hundred times in a row? I don't think so.” Oz said the enforcement visits will continue in the state. Kent Senior Care declined to comment, and Evergreen Adult Day Care did not reply to a request for comment.

Background: GSM previously reported that state and federal authorities launched a joint enforcement action on October 20, which Gov. Kathy Hochul described as a joint effort by state officials and federal and local law enforcement targeting suspected Medicaid fraud at social adult day care programs, with more than 100 facilities investigated across the city. The same day, the Department of Justice announced the $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP), funded by the Department of the Treasury and administered by the Justice Department, offering rewards of $10,000 to $30,000 for information leading to criminal charges.
