明尼苏达州15人因涉嫌9000万美元医疗补助欺诈被起诉；司法部和副总统强调反欺诈行动
Read, Watch or Listen
MINNEAPOLIS. Federal prosecutors announced Thursday that 15 people have been charged in an alleged Medicaid fraud scheme tied to seven state-managed programs in Minnesota, with authorities saying approximately $90 million was targeted; search warrants were executed at autism and childcare centers late last month and indictments were unveiled at a federal courthouse news conference. Washington agencies moved this week to respond: the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said it has deferred roughly $350 million in federal Medicaid payments to Minnesota pending state revalidation of services, the Department of Justice signaled further prosecutions are expected, and Vice President J.D. Vance highlighted the administration’s anti-fraud efforts and warned of continued enforcement actions.
