California Attorney Rob Bonta appears to finally be honing in on fraud after federal pressure — digging up more than a quarter of a billion dollars in faulty services billed to MediCal and Medicaid. The top state prosecutor says investigators caught 14 fraudulent hospice companies who had billed MediCal and Medicaid for $267 million in non-existent services after they received a tip from the California Department of Healthcare Services. “This was a brazen, calculated criminal scheme that exploited the medical system, stole from the state of California and Medicaid and prevented services and care from going to sick individuals who actually need it,” Bonta said of the crime.
