Massive Medicaid fraud in Maine.

Gateway’s founder and CEO, Abdullahi Ali

House panel probes Somali health contractor fraud

Another potential government boondoggle is under the microscope as the House Oversight Committee digs into allegations of massive Medicaid fraud tied to a Somali-led health contractor in Maine.

The investigation centers on Gateway Community Financial Services, with possible links to similar schemes in Minnesota, prompting Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services to slam the brakes on Medicaid payments to the company after damning whistleblower claims and media exposure, as NewsNation reports.

The Oversight Committee was already sniffing around questionable Medicaid dealings among Somali contractors in Minnesota when their radar pinged on Gateway in Maine. NewsNation’s sharp reporting brought this mess into the spotlight.

The committee isn’t messing around, naming Gateway’s founder and CEO, Abdullahi Ali, as a person of interest in this unfolding drama. Maine State Rep. Deqa Dhalac, a Democrat and former assistant executive director at Gateway, also landed on the radar.

Even Maine’s Democrat Gov. Janet Mills has gone radio silent on the matter, dodging NewsNation’s calls for a statement. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services also clammed up when pressed for answers.
