NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The U.S. Justice Department accused New York state officials Tuesday of facilitating fraud, saying they let a Georgia company use a sham bidding process to gain control of and then abuse a $10 billion program to provide home care to disabled Medicaid patients.<\/p>\n
Federal lawyers made the claims in a civil lawsuit in Brooklyn federal court, naming the state\u2019s Department of Health, its Medicaid director and the Alpharetta, Georgia-based company Public Partnerships LLC, as defendants.<\/p>\n
