Five people were arrested by the California Department of Justice in connection with a major health care and hospice fraud scheme in Southern California that defrauded taxpayers of nearly a quarter of a billion dollars, Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on April 9. In total, the state filed charges against 21 people.
The investigation, Operation Skip Trace, which the state’s DOJ initiated, uncovered and dismantled a Medi-Cal scheme in which 14 hospice companies purchased personal information of non-California residents on the dark web and enrolled the stolen identities in the state-administered Medicaid program.
