In Minnesota, individuals convicted of fraud often have no felonies on their records. The state's Attorney General, Keith Ellison, has discussed his office's efforts to prosecute Medicaid fraud. The Attorney General's office has reportedly won over 300 convictions against Medicaid fraudsters since Ellison took office.

A small team within the office, known as the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, handles these cases. Further details on the outcomes of these convictions are available from 5 INVESTIGATES, which analyzed the cases and found that not all individuals charged with felony-level fraud received felony convictions.
