A former Planned Parenthood abortion
clinic manager has filed a lawsuit against the nation’s biggest abortion
business accusing it of engaging in massive fraudulent activities. The lawsuit
follows a
new investigation of Planned Parenthood in Illinois and Planned
Parenthood abortion companies in other states having been found to have
engaged in overbilling and Medicaid
fraud.
. . . submitting “repeated false,
fraudulent, and/or ineligible claims for reimbursements” to Medicaid and failing
to meet acceptable standards of medical practice.
“People may hold different views
about abortion, but everyone can agree that Planned Parenthood should play by
the same rules as everyone else. It certainly isn’t entitled to any public
funds, especially if it is defrauding Medicaid and the American
taxpayer.”
The lawsuit alleges that Planned
Parenthood of Greater Iowa, an affiliate now known as Planned Parenthood of the
Heartland, filed nearly one-half million false claims with Medicaid from which
Planned Parenthood received and retained nearly $28 million. Planned Parenthood
could be ordered to pay the United
States and Iowa
. . . a “C-Mail” program that
automatically mailed a year’s supply of birth control pills to women who had
only been seen once at a Planned Parenthood clinic and usually by personnel who
were not qualified health care professionals. After that, Planned Parenthood
mailed thousands of unrequested birth control pills to those
clients.
Planned Parenthood’s cost for a
28-day supply of birth control pills mailed to clients was $2.98, but the
Medicaid reimbursement Planned Parenthood received for the pills was $26.32.
