BREAKING: Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson exposes the true level of fraud in Minnesota. "Every day we look under a rock and find a new $50 million fraud scheme." "[Minnesota] is an outlier in a bad way. You don't see fraud on this scale in other states." "Traditional Medicare/Medicaid fraud is people overbilling. Upcoding. Instead of billing for a service with a relatively modest reimbursement, you claim you're providing a higher dollar value service. You're maybe making 20% more - padding your bills." "What I think is unique to Minnesota is that's not what we're looking at. What we're seeing is programs that are just entirely fraudulent. These aren't companies that are providing some services but overbilling Medicare and Medicaid, these are companies that are providing NO services. They're essentially shell companies created to defraud the program. That's unique to Minnesota."
