Fighting fraud in state programs will likely take center stage at the state capitol next year, after federal investigators accused two autism centers of swindling state Medicaid money and raided their offices on Thursday.

Gov. Tim Walz called Thursday for Minnesota to increase criminal penalties for Medicaid fraud in response to the FBI’s investigation into autism service providers. The FBI searched at least two Minnesota autism centers Thursday as it investigated “substantial evidence” of fraudulent Medicaid claims made by many companies participating in the state program.

The FBI raided autism treatment centers in Minneapolis and St. Cloud for alleged fraud, and tie them to the Feeding Our Future case.
