Public Partnerships LLC

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New York state and Public Partnerships LLC, alleging fraud and bid rigging in the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. The lawsuit claims these actions caused millions in taxpayer losses and disrupted care for vulnerable New Yorkers.

The U.S. Justice Department sued New York's Department of Health, alleging a biased bidding process favored Public Partnerships LLC for a Medicaid home care program, costing taxpayers millions. New York denied the accusations, claiming the process was fair and legally upheld by a state court, while asserting the program saved $1 billion by removing administrative inefficiencies.
