The U.S. Department of Justice announced criminal charges against 19 defendants in connection with an alleged $4 million Medicaid home health care fraud scheme in Pennsylvania. Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald said the investigation uncovered fraudulent billing for home care services that were never provided, including claims allegedly submitted while caregivers were in jail, hospitalized, or working other jobs. Federal and state law enforcement officials say the crackdown is part of a broader nationwide effort to combat healthcare fraud and protect taxpayer-funded Medicaid programs.
