A Somali National In Minneapolis Busted For Bleeding Medicare Dry For Care That Didn't Exist

A Minnesota man running a nonprofit organization is accused of orchestrating a massive Medicaid fraud scheme that allegedly billed taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per patient for care that was never provided.

Mohamod Jama, a Somali national operating an NGO in Minnesota, allegedly charged Medicaid as much as $12,630 per person per month, according to reported billing records. Investigators say the organization billed between $276 and $421 per patient per day while failing to deliver the services it claimed to provide.

“They were billing Medicaid $421 per day, claiming they always provided 12 hours of service,” one source familiar with the case said. “Most days it was like two hours, maybe one or two hours.”

The alleged misconduct did not stop at fraudulent billing. Jama and his organization reportedly stopped paying rent for patients who were supposed to be housed under the care program, resulting in evictions that left vulnerable individuals homeless.

“The company and its owner, Mohamod Jama, stopped paying rent,” the source said. “So Sky got evicted — just one of the vulnerable people paying the price through no fault of their own for Minnesota’s fraud crisis, thrown onto the street homeless.”

The case highlights ongoing concerns about oversight failures in Minnesota’s Medicaid system, which has faced repeated scrutiny over large scale fraud targeting public assistance programs.

If the allegations are substantiated, Jama’s operation would represent yet another example of how lax enforcement and accountability can leave both taxpayers and vulnerable populations footing the bill.
