Episode Details

The Justice Department is launching a major crackdown on health care fraud in Philadelphia, deploying its Northeast Health Care Fraud Strike Force with federal and state resources aimed at exposing Medicare and Medicaid scams—especially in home health care. Nineteen people have already been charged for submitting over $4 million in fraudulent claims, including cases where aides billed while incarcerated, hospitalized, or overseas, and one defendant claimed intensive care while working as a carpenter. Authorities are also investigating impossible work hours and fake time-stamped logs. This aggressive push, backed by specialized units and coordinated enforcement, targets shell companies and aims to protect taxpayer dollars from criminals exploiting the system.
