Medicaid fraud is rampant. DHS administers Medicaid & aware of fraud yet leaders turn blind eye to avoid negative press at all costs. We contacted Gov office, Walz uninterested. Result in massive taxpayer dollars wasted, money sent internationally, children hurt, people suffering

Majority of this list of fraud/waste involves DHS. Add to list, 2019 Opioid Medication bills (>$29 million), 2022 AMHI (>$2 million), 2019-2023 Children MH Prgms (>$6 million), FY 2020-2023 Cmty Grants (est >$70 million), goes on. Coverup by incompetent leaders is the worst part.

Did you know that DHS lies to legislature? DHS always requests more money but reality is, we don’t even spend what we have, results in “underspend.” At end of year, leaders push us to approve grant invoices w/o proper review to lie to leg. that we’ve spent the money & need more.

The Feeding the Future scandal hits DHS hard but isn’t the biggest fraud, waste & abuse our agency faces. It is the inside connections our DHS leaders use to obtain funds or jobs for their friends/family which includes collusion when writing RFPs. Ultimately, Minnesotans suffer.

Thank You KSTP for story on mental health care fund cuts. It’s a BHD Legislative staff failure to communicate mental health crisis to legislature. None of these staff have mental health quals & our director has never shown up to leg. bc she’s unqualified

Kyros still billing to DHS Medicaid? Just a slap on the wrist for them? At the expense of Minnesota taxpayers.. What has jodi.harpstead @state .mn.us done to stop Medicaid Fraud? Maybe FBI should investigate Kyros in addition to the Autism Centers.

As DHS employees, we’ve tried strenuously to notify leadership including Jodi about Medicaid fraud but have been silenced with threats & retaliation. Recently, we’ve been reviewing fraudulent billing, common in Chem/Disability svcs & will share the results with OLA & Senators.

We’re thankful to the MN Reformer. At DHS, non-profits aren’t held to same level of review so if state awards are spent well/not, we have no idea bc we do few checks. Hint, several for-profits we awarded to are pretending to be non-profits, leaders ignore.

For those wondering what it’s like to work in our agency, see this article. It’s all true.

@billglahn Thank You, Bill. It is correct DHS is the focal point for fraud waste abuse. For example, the Opioid Medication scandal exposed in 2019 (far greater than $29 million lost) has never been addressed & still happening to this day. Leaders & Gov will coverup.

@PamAltendorf @MNReformer @MNReformer @PamAltendorf Despite our best intentions as agency staff in working as a team with DHS and the Gov, they’ve only sought to bury our concerns. We no longer trust our own government. The free press & yourself have helped expose the issues we face. Thank You

Retaliation, when staff report wrongdoing affects all strata of DHS incl members of HR. A number of high-level HR staff are resigning with one staff verifying that retaliation & investigations disproportionately affect diverse staff as a trend that started under Jodi Harpstead.

This case is near & dear to our hearts. One colleague of ours bravely reported similar concerns we now have, 4 years ago. She was marched out, silenced & told not to do her job. DHS let coworkers slander & defame her. To date, DHS is still retaliating.

@AJInvestigates Unfortunately, this is DHS standard practice of ignoring problems until they are publicly exposed. Same thing happened to children mental health facilities where closures resulted in huge loss of treatment centers, kids then separated from family & shipped to Utah, Texas, others.

@LSSofMN @lssfinancial Please be aware your former CEO Jodi Harpstead has critically harmed our agency DHS. Through retaliation, mismanagement & nepotistic hires, our agency has been rocked by unprecedented corruption scandals. Pls explain why LSS has been awarded huge grants by DHS after Jodi started.
