Minnesota Woman Convicted in $3.6M Medicaid Housing Services Fraud Scheme
The U.S. Department of Justice reported on Oct. 8 that a Minnesota woman has been convicted for her role in a scheme to defraud the Medicaid Housing Services Program, involving $3.6 million. Medicaid is a joint federal-state health coverage program, and its Housing Services Program provides housing-related support services to eligible beneficiaries. Prosecutors alleged the woman used fraud to take money from the program, with the scheme totaling $3.6 million. The Justice Department did not release the woman's name, and sentencing proceedings are to be scheduled by the court. Fraud against Medicaid programs has long been a focus of federal law enforcement, with related cases reaching verdicts in recent years. (From the DOJ report.)
