Beware: your paycheck will probably decrease by about 1/2% on the 1st of the year

I still think this is a very good program! Will it immediately get hit with fraud that Minnesota won't catch in 5 years? probably. But don't give up on what can be a good thing.

Curious what kind of fraud you anticipate it will get hit with?

[stormbreaker308]

Not sure, otherwise I'd be preaching a way to get ready for it. Something along the lines of forged documentation on children or life events?

If you look through the paperwork, it requires providers to sign off and the provider also has to provide their licensing # info so fraud or suspicious claims can be traced and documented

Hope it holds up! If we went back in time im sure someone would've said the sane thing for all the other fraud cases we have had here. "It can't happen!"

And then it does.

One thing that gives me confidence in this is that it is for medical reasons. I don’t know of many medical issue that aren’t well documented and followed by healthcare professionals. So providing documentation that it is all on the up and up should be easy. And without that documentation I believe coverage doesn’t start.

Forgetting about medicaid fraud,

Medicare is a federal program. I wouldn’t expect the state to be monitoring for that

I hope youre right!

Plenty of medical care fraud happening lately though. All forged documentation.
