Nick Shirley strikes again, exposing alleged $190M home care fraud in New York

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and journalist Nick Shirley probe alleged Medicare and Medicaid fraud in New York City, highlighting operations that Shirley claims cost taxpayers $190 million.

  • On Friday, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joined investigator Nick Shirley in Flushing, Queens, to confront operators of suspected Medicare and Medicaid fraud at adult daycare centers and medical supply businesses.
  • Shirley's investigation mirrors his viral Minnesota reporting from last year, which drew attention from President Donald Trump and pressured Governor Tim Walz's reelection bid as Trump prioritized targeting fraud in Democrat-run jurisdictions.
  • In a Friday YouTube video, Shirley alleged $190 million in fraud, citing "major red flags" such as three durable medical suppliers purportedly operating from a single apartment without inventory.
  • During site visits, the pair confronted facility staff who often appeared confused or lacked English proficiency about financial disclosures; Oz alleged such suppliers "grow like vermin" within the current system.
  • Critics debate the integrity of the investigative tactics used to gather evidence, questioning whether confrontations with confused staff constitute valid proof of alleged financial irregularities in the sector.
