A.J. Lagoe of KARE 11 is an investigative reporter who looked into Ultimate Home Health. He talked to the mother of a man who died under the care of Ultimate Home Health, which was billing Medicaid $461 a day for providing him with what they said was 12 hours of services. The paramedic who found his body said he'd been deceased for "a long amount of time." This is a long video, but watch the whole thing for a background on this company.

The assistant attorney general in charge of the investigation says it could amount to up to $18 billion in fraud.

That's undoubtedly true. Imagine if we could find and eliminate all Medicaid fraud.
