FBI Raids Minnesota Autism Centers for Medicaid Fraud
Federal agents raided two Minnesota autism treatment centers, Smart Therapy Center and Star Autism Center, as part of the ongoing Feeding Our Future fraud investigation. The search warrants allege both centers submitted fraudulent Medicaid claims for services not rendered, including employing unqualified staff and enrolling non-autistic children. This action is a direct result of the larger $240 million Feeding Our Future scandal, which has already resulted in numerous indictments and convictions. The alleged scheme involved drastically inflating Medicaid reimbursement claims for autism services, raising concerns about the integrity of the system.
