Minnesota Attorney General Charges Man In $3 Million Medicaid Fraud

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced felony charges Wednesday against Mohamed Abdirashid Omarxeyd for a massive $3 million Medicaid fraud scheme. The Minneapolis man allegedly used his company, Guardian Home Health Services, to bill for "high-risk" services that were never provided.

Prosecutors say the fraudulent activity occurred between 2020 and 2024. Omarxeyd and his wife are accused of siphoning more than $2 million from company accounts for personal use during that period.

State investigators identified fraudulent claims for personal care, respite care, and community support services. Ellison called the act of defrauding low-income healthcare programs "despicable" in a formal statement.

Omarxeyd is charged with eight counts of felony theft by false representation. He is scheduled to make his first appearance in court on February 3, 2026.
