From Wisconsin Radio Network:
Wisconsin’s top cop has a good idea for fighting fraud within public assistance programs. Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen says his department’s Medicaid Fraud Control and Elder Abuse Unit is proven to be successful with recovering money, investigating, and prosecuting the bad guys.
Van Hollen says, in just the last four years, they’ve collected a lot of taxpayer money that was intended for Medicaid recipients. “Our Medicaid Fraud Unit has recovered approximately $35-million in Medicaid fraud reimbursements. And we have orders, or approvals or judgments for approximately $26-million more.”
