Not for what they got the medicaid for. They got it for overcharging and doing unnecessary procedures.

I think the point of the poster was that you have the word abortion in the title of this thread. If it wasn't about abortion then why would it be it the title?

It probably IS about abortion but PP won't admit they use tax payer (medicaid) money to do abortions.

Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast pays $1.4m for Medicaid overcharges | Trail Blazers Blog




Once again, the Anti-women and anti-choicers have TO LIE in order to spread their propaganda.
The govt. alleges Fraud, and you call it 'overcharge'. Hmm, who's spreading the lies?

Didn't read the story did you?

Quote: "State investigators determined that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast falsified information in patients’ medical records to recieve unwarranted reimbursement from the Medicaid program."

Sounds like fraud to me, not "oops, I forgot to carry the decimal."

I think private insurers would beg to differ.

From the Texas AG Press Release:

"The State’s investigation revealed that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast improperly billed the Texas Medicaid program for products and services that were never actually rendered, not medically necessary, and were not covered by the Medicaid program – and were therefore not eligible for reimbursement.

This has nothing to do with abortion.
