Indiana Medicaid Fraud In Child Welfare

Here will be one of my textbook examples of a Medicaid Fraud Scheme in Child Welfare.

What is contained within this fraud scheme are key components to validate what I have coined as child abuse propaganda.

Without being said, I will immediately question whether any of the children were temporary/permanent wards of the state, (i.e. foster care, adoption).

It is organizations such as these who present these false data to be compiled to develop public policy. What is most statistically egregious is the national data will never be amended.

This happens everyday all across the nation.

State Investigation of Whistleblower Lawsuit Supports Medicaid Fraud Allegations Against Madison Center

For more than 10 years, Madison Center actively sought and enrolled low-income, "problem students" from the local school system and enrolled them in its day treatment program. To boost its Medicaid revenues even more, Madison Center would convince parents that the siblings of those students also should be sent to Madison Center for treatment instead of school, the "qui tam" (whistleblower) lawsuit says.

But the children weren't properly diagnosed, and they were given little or no treatment to help them, according to the whistleblower lawsuit. Since the children's families were poor, Medicaid covered the Madison Center's charges for the treatment the children supposedly received. The state estimates it paid Madison Center more than $10 million in Medicaid payments for fraudulent billing charges.

It seems people are finally listening to me...and I have so much more to say.
