Since 2020, restitution has been ordered in at least 48 cases prosecuted by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office. The combined restitution totaled more than $13.3 million. As of this spring, only $2.355 million has been re-paid (less than 18%). Nearly $11 million is still owed, according to a review by the FOX 9 Investigators.
