Lawsuit: Massachusetts AG Campbell Accuses United HealthCare of Medicaid Fraud

The lawsuit cites an instance in which UnitedHealthcare allegedly overcharged MassHealth by $133,000 over the span of five years for a patient who allegedly needed assistance with tasks like bathing, grooming, and dressing. The patient was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis, but, upon investigation, “demonstrated complete independence” with the assistance of over-the-counter painkillers.
