Billions of taxpayer dollars are being misused through questionable billing practices. This issue is nationwide, not limited to politically “liberal” states. 2.

Highlights the lack of verification due to services occurring in private homes. 3. Business and Organizational Abuse Rapidly scale and bill Medicaid without clear operations.
