Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) announced last week that his team on the House Oversight Committee is going to tear a newly uncovered Ohio-based Medicaid fraud scheme down “piece by piece.” 

Gill was tapped this month to chair the Oversight Committee’s new Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses, where he’s planning to uncover billions of dollars in fraud.

“Hundreds of millions of dollars of your tax money is being wasted in an Ohio Medicaid scheme that we’re uncovering on the House Oversight Committee. We believe this scheme stretches into the billions of dollars,” Gill said in a clip shared on X on Friday. “The Ohio Medicaid Agency had years to figure this out. A reporter did it in just a couple months, and we’re building on their work.”

“We’re saving you taxpayer dollars, and we’re ending fraud on my task force at the House Oversight Committee,” he added.

“Fraudsters stole hundreds of millions of your tax dollars through an Ohio Medicaid scandal. My GOP Oversight Task Force is pulling this scheme apart piece by piece,” Gill wrote on X.

According to reports cited by House Republicans, a state audit found that Franklin County, home to just 11.5% of Ohio’s population, accounted for roughly 38% to 40% of the $1.6 billion spent statewide, with nearly 40% of that amount flowing to just two neighboring ZIP codes, totaling approximately $240 million.

Auditors also identified a 15.6% error rate in eligibility determinations, raising concerns that improper payments could range from $800 million to as much as $4 billion.

Gill and Comer discussed the findings to date and the looming investigation last week.

Gill revealed that likely billions of dollars are being laundered through “a wide variety of shell companies that we’re facilitating as intermediaries to facilitate payments to organizations that weren’t providing any type of health care.”
