Medicaid fraud fears rise amid lack of probes
U S Attorney Robert Fiske told a Senate Aging subcommittee that Medicaid clinic operators can commit fraud with little risk due to scarce investigators and weak laws. He urged tougher penalties and a new criminal investigative staff, citing landlords profiting from clinic funds and physician lease arrangements as drivers of abuse. The study found most Medicaid money went to building owners with doctors earning 20 to 40 percent, prompting questions about ethics and patient care.
