Nursing home operators charged with plot to defraud Medicare, Medicaid programs
Two nursing home operators were charged Friday with plotting to defraud the Medicare and Medicaid programs of more than $30 million and providing about 300 elderly residents with ``worthless and harmful'' care.
A 37-year-old Manitowoc woman has been charged with bilking the state Medicaid program of more than $15,000 over about a two-year period by billing the health care program for work supposedly done while she was instead on staff at a local hospital.
