Arizona's Medicaid agency, AHCCCS, has already suspended payments to more than 300 behavioral health providers accused of defrauding the state of nearly a billion dollars, but the state's Attorney General, Kris Mayes, says they still have a long way to go. • I personally believe the number will top a billion dollars when it’s all said and done. • Mayes says money is clearly the motive in the sober living scheme. • New suspension notices obtained by FOX 10 reveal more detailed allegations like misdiagnosing patients for benefit of payment, providing payments for business, billing for incarcerated members and billing under another national provider ID. • This is about turning the spigot off, because these criminals know that there’s a honey pot at AHCCCS that they can go to – a Medicaid honey pot in Arizona, she said. • The alleged schemers are targeting vulnerable people fighting addictions, mainly recruiting Native Americans off tribal reservations to sign up for the American Indian Health Plan under AHCCCS. • • FOX 10's Justin Lum reports. • Subscribe to FOX 10 Phoenix! • / @fox10phoenix • #fox10phoenix #soberliving #arizona #az • FOX 10 Phoenix delivers breaking news, live events, politics, entertainment, business news and local stories from Phoenix, Arizona and across the nation. • Watch more FOX 10 Phoenix on YouTube: • Arizona headlines: • Arizona headlines (Archive 2) • Investigations: • Investigations • National headlines: • National headlines
