    Minnesota won $90 million in judgments against Medicaid fraudsters. Only a fraction is actually paid back.

    Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's office claims $90 million in judgments against Medicaid fraudsters, but court records show only about $3 million has been repaid since 2019.

    Minnesota's Medicaid fraud convictions often result in reduced or dismissed felony charges due to sentencing options like stay of imposition and stay of adjudication. Nearly 80% of offenders in analyzed cases avoided permanent felony convictions after probation, despite being barred from Medicaid-related jobs and required to pay restitution.
