<p>Vice President JD Vance said Monday that he is directing the Fraud Task Force to investigate suspected Medicaid fraud uncovered in his home state, thanks to a Daily Wire investigation.</p>
<p>Vance addressed the unfolding story in an X post, first saying he wanted the task force to review the evidence and then, if warranted, take immediate action to put an end to the fraud.</p>
<p>&#8220;These shocking allegations, if true, show why the Fraud Task Force’s work is so important. I’m directing the task force to look into it and take immediate action to prosecute any fraudsters involved and stop all further payments as appropriate,&#8221; he posted, sharing a thread from Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak detailing the uncovered fraud.</p>

<p>In the thread that followed, Rosiak explained how he had found one building that purported to house 94 &#8220;home health&#8221; companies — companies that were supposed to provide the kinds of home health services that keep people out of nursing homes, saving on costs. But the potential for fraud and abuse, he noted, is massive.</p>
<p>&#8220;This includes people getting paid to provide &#8216;companionship &amp; conversation&#8217; to their own relatives. Fraud [is] almost impossible to prove because service happens in private houses,&#8221; Rosiak noted, adding, &#8220;Home health was supposed to save money because it&#8217;s cheaper than being in a nursing home. Problem is, no one fakes their way into a nursing home. But lots of people will claim to be sick if they get to stay at home and get free checks for their family.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/medicaid-millionaires-how-the-feds-pay-immigrants-billions-to-hang-out-with-their-families">full report,</a> Rosiak wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The business model is simple: a 40-year-old Somali immigrant gets paid for spending time with, and maybe cooking for, his own 65-year-old mother. The middleman is one of thousands of “home health” firms that have the “NPI” number necessary to bill Medicaid.</em></p>
<p><em>The 40-year-old becomes an “employee” of that company, but has no clients other than his mother. There is no way to verify whether he actually even provided the “services” — unless his own mother is willing to testify against him.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Rosiak&#8217;s investigation, conducted over two months, uncovered additional examples of fraud and abuse, and more details are expected to be revealed in the days to come.</p>
<p><strong><em>Two months. Millions of documents. A full investigative team. That’s what this story required. Most outlets can’t afford work like this, which is why it doesn’t happen. We’ve chosen to make it happen. <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/fight/?utm_campaign=missional&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_content=medicaid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Support more of it by becoming a member of Daily Wire.</a></em></strong></p>
