MORE FRAUD? Reporter in Maine Finds Building With Ten Somali-Owned Home Healthcare Companies – Landlord Says No One is Ever There (VIDEO)

A NewsNation investigation has uncovered what appear to be additional warning signs of potential health care fraud in Maine, centered on office buildings that list numerous home health care companies but show little sign of actual activity.

A NewsNation reporter traveled to Maine and focused on one Portland office building that is registered as the business address for roughly 10 Somali-owned home health care companies—accounting for about half of the building’s tenants. Despite the number of businesses listed there, the building’s owner says he rarely sees anyone working inside.

Ron Nevins, the landlord, told NewsNation that aside from one tenant he occasionally sees coming and going, most of the companies appear inactive. “They’re never here,” Nevins said, adding that he usually only encounters representatives when rent is paid. He noted that at times the building has housed as many as 12 or 13 similar companies, prompting him to question why so many health care businesses appear to operate without a visible presence.

The NewsNation reporter also interviewed a local newspaper journalist who identified other locations across Maine with similar setups. According to that reporter, several addresses listed as home health care providers are located next door to businesses that offer money-wiring services to Somalia, a pattern that has raised concerns among investigators and journalists.

They don’t even freaking hide it.

In one building, TEN businesses are home health. Nobody is ever there.

They are funded by our tax dollars. IT’S FRAUD.

These clusters of health care companies operating from the same addresses mirror red flags previously identified by the House Oversight Committee in Minnesota. In that state, investigators allege that shell companies billed Medicaid for services that were never provided, resulting in the loss of billions of taxpayer dollars.

In Maine, at least one company tied to Nevins’ building—Five Star Home Health Care—was found by state auditors to have overbilled MaineCare by nearly $400,000, according to documents obtained by The Maine Wire. After the audit, the company’s owner reportedly abandoned the office.

NewsNation notes that these findings echo fraud patterns seen elsewhere and raise questions about oversight, enforcement, and whether Maine could be facing a similar scheme if the activity goes unchecked.
