Alaska Medicaid Fraud Under Fire | Anchorage News

Alaska’s Medicaid program is under siege as investigators uncover a staggering $1.8 million in fraud, charging 15 people across five cases that threaten patient care and public trust. Graystone Assisted Living faces the largest accusation—$1.1 million for missing documentation—and the Bates couple, charged with $619K, allegedly funneled $1.7M to an employee for personal luxuries. A Soldotna dentist, a Kenai caregiver, and an Anchorage family also face charges for fake claims, from unnecessary dental work to nonexistent personal care. Authorities stress that records were never truly missing—just ignored. With Medicaid serving 200K Alaskans, this crackdown underscores the state’s resolve to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure every dollar goes where it’s needed.
