Have you received a letter from Louisiana Department of Health requesting documents and a due date to send them?
If so, you may be under investigation by the Recipient Fraud Investigation Unit of LDH for Medicaid Fraud or Filing or Maintaining False Public Records. These charges would be based on submitting an application for Medicaid health insurance when your income is not low enough to qualify. LDH seems to be trying to enforce the qualifying criteria. These investigations begin with a letter requesting financial information and a questionnaire. The investigations may end with an arrest. Many arrests have been made already. It is imperative that you seek the assistance of a Medicaid defense attorney to help you determine what you should turn over, if anything and to discuss possible defenses. Contact us at 225-964-6720 to discuss this matter.
