Medicaid Fraud at Adult Daycare | St. Louis News

Federal prosecutors just indicted a St. Louis-based adult daycare operator for allegedly bilking Medicaid out of $1.47 million by submitting fake claims for services never rendered—sometimes billing for 70 residents a day when the facility was only licensed for 60. The scheme, uncovered in 2019, also involved billing for care that wasn’t medically necessary or was never delivered. The indictment alleges nearly $2.7 million in fraudulent claims, and the defendant now faces six counts of healthcare fraud while remaining free on recognizance. This case underscores the growing toll of healthcare fraud on vital support programs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
