COVID Relief Program Abuse

A Minnesota home health owner has been charged in a yearslong Medicaid fraud scheme alleged to have cost about $3 million. The case is far smaller than the state's largest recent probe — the Feeding Our Future scandal, pegged at roughly $250 million and resulting in a jury conviction and multimillion-dollar forfeiture against organizer Bock, who has said she tried to root out fraud by terminating dozens of suspect sites, a claim critics say highlights missed warning signs by regulators.
