Office buildings across Maine are packed with home health care companies that rarely have anyone present, raise red flags similar to fraud patterns discovered in Minnesota and, in some cases, have overbilled the state by hundreds of thousands of dollars before vanishing, a NewsNation investigation has found.
The scrutiny follows NewsNation reporting last month on Gateway Community Services, a Somali-American-led health services contractor accused by a whistleblower of billing for services never provided. State audits found Gateway overbilled Maine $662,608, with the state still trying to recoup $537,550.
