Minnesota has won $90 million in judgments against those who committed Medicaid fraud. However, only a small fraction of this amount has been paid back. The state's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, along with civil settlements and court judgments, achieved these recoveries.

The $90 million figure is notable, as it matches the amount the legislature recently spent to upgrade technology for counties administering social services programs. Further information on the details of these cases and the efforts to recover the owed funds can be found through 5 INVESTIGATES, which conducted a review of state court records.
