Feds Launch New Unit to Prosecute Health Care Fraud Cases in Illinois – WTTW

“Since becoming U.S. Attorney, my office has charged nearly $2 billion in health care fraud schemes involving alleged criminal conduct that has stretched across the country, and even transnationally,”US Attorney Boutros said in a statement. “The newly created Healthcare Fraud Section that I’ve launched will bring greater focus, efficiency, and impact to our efforts in this important program area, which often involves the exploitation of patients through unnecessary and/or unsafe medical tests and procedures.”

When people apply for Medicaid, they need to discover if the home is owned by a corporation and is the recipient is part of that corporation. Seen people on Medicaid who are owners of corporations.

They already look for that. Medicaid has a 5 year look back period to see what assets were transferred and/or to determine if someone still controls those assets. So someone moving their home to an LLC or corporation and yet still maintaining control or living in that home, would make that home a “countable” asset. Shakelford v. Lake

Also, if assets were transferred during the last 5 years, it is presumed that the asset transfer was done to aid in qualification.
