Feds Raid NYC Adult Day Cares in Massive Medicaid Fraud Probe
Authorities suspect over 100 facilities of engaging in schemes involving money laundering and kickbacks.
Federal authorities have raided at least two adult day care centers in Brooklyn as part of a large-scale investigation into more than 100 facilities suspected of Medicaid fraud. The probe encompasses allegations of money laundering and kickbacks, officials announced.
The crackdown is the result of a months-long effort to address fraud and abuse within programs funded by taxpayer dollars, particularly those serving vulnerable populations, according to New York Governor Kathy Hochul. The investigation aims to combat the misuse of funds intended for essential services.
While specific details of the alleged fraud schemes at individual locations have not been fully disclosed, the involvement of money laundering and kickbacks suggests complex financial misconduct. The scale of the investigation, targeting over 100 sites, indicates a significant pattern of suspected illicit activity within the adult day care sector in New York City.
