New York Post, Fox News, The Epoch Times, Daily Mail and PJ Media report that federal agents raided at least two adult day care centers in Brooklyn on a Tuesday, alleging Medicaid fraud involving money laundering and kickbacks, according to officials cited in the coverage. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the crackdown is a monthslong effort to combat fraud and abuse involving some of the state’s most vulnerable residents. Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, has also made surprise visits to senior care centers in Queens, questioning billing and attendance records; the outlets say a director disputed the concerns. The outlets present the raids as part of a wider federal push against suspected fraud in New York Medicaid spending.
