独家报道： 司法部周二宣布，将其东北部医疗欺诈专案组拓展至费城，联邦与州当局正针对涉及家庭保健服务的医保和医疗补助欺诈展开打击行动。
此次扩张将在宾夕法尼亚州东区设立专案组办公室，整合司法部国家欺诈执法司与该地区美国检察官办公室的力量。
据福克斯新闻获取的司法部新闻稿显示，配合此次公告，联邦与宾夕法尼亚州当局起诉了19名被告，他们被控参与涉及向医保和医疗补助提交超过400万美元索赔的诈骗计划。被告包括家庭保健公司老板、雇员、所谓的护工以及医疗补助领取者。
宾夕法尼亚州总检察长戴夫·周日同时宣布了一项认罪协议，涉及此前一桩21名被告案件中的最后一名被告，该案涉及超过170万美元的索赔。

司法部表示：“欺诈司将业务拓展至宾夕法尼亚州东区，将为这个拥有悠久强力打击医疗欺诈传统的地区带来更多联邦执法资源。欺诈司与宾夕法尼亚州东区之间的合作，将使执法部门能够更有效地打击那些躲在公司背后实施诈骗的犯罪分子。”
这些案件指控内容包括：家庭保健护工在被监禁、住院、从事其他工作或出国旅行期间，仍向医疗补助机构申领服务费用。另一起案件中，检察官表示一名医疗补助领取者自称需要大量家庭保健协助，同时却以木匠为业。

新闻稿显示，其他被告涉嫌提交重叠或不可能存在的工作时长，包括单日申领超过24小时护理服务的索赔。一家家庭保健机构及其老板还被控涉嫌为虚假的上下班打卡记录向医疗补助机构报账。

司法部表示，此次扩张是在加州、亚利桑那州、内华达州、马萨诸塞州和明尼苏达州新增专案组力量之后进行的，此外还在2025年和2026年分别发起两起全国性医疗欺诈执法行动，涉及据称高达150亿美元和60多亿美元的损失。

EXCLUSIVE: The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it is expanding its Northeast Health Care Fraud Strike Force to Philadelphia as federal and state authorities target alleged Medicare and Medicaid fraud involving home health care services.
The expansion will establish a strike force office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and bring together the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the district.
In connection with the announcement, federal and Pennsylvania authorities charged 19 defendants accused of participating in schemes involving more than $4 million in claims submitted to Medicare and Medicaid, according to a DOJ release obtained by Fox News. The defendants include home health care company owners, employees, purported aides and Medicaid recipients.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday also announced a plea agreement involving the final defendant in a previously charged 21-defendant case tied to more than $1.7 million in claims.

“The Fraud Division’s expansion into the Eastern District of Pennsylvania brings enhanced federal resources to a district with an established tradition of strong health care fraud enforcement,” the DOJ said. “The partnership between the Fraud Division and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania will uniquely enable law enforcement to combat criminals who hide behind corporations to commit fraud.”
The cases include allegations that home health aides billed Medicaid for services while they were incarcerated, hospitalized, working other jobs or traveling overseas. In another case, prosecutors said a Medicaid recipient claimed to require extensive home health assistance while also working as a carpenter.

Other defendants allegedly submitted overlapping or impossible work hours, including claims exceeding 24 hours of care in a single day, according to the release. One home health care agency and its owners were also charged with allegedly billing Medicaid for false clock-ins and clock-outs.

The DOJ said the expansion follows recent additions to the strike force program in California, Arizona, Nevada, Massachusetts and Minnesota, as well as two national health care fraud enforcement actions involving more than $15 billion in alleged losses in 2025 and more than $6 billion in alleged losses in 2026.
