is cracking down on an alleged Medicaid fraud and a scheme that takes advantage of vulnerable Native Americans.
Hobbs was backed by the state’s attorney general, several indigenous leaders, and the director of Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System , the agency responsible for paying out what investigators call "significant increases" in billing for outpatient behavioral health services to alleged criminal enterprises targeting Native Americans.
Some indigenous leaders are calling it "white van syndrome," saying their people are enticed, picked up in vehicles, and allegedly left unsupervised in Valley homes and neighborhoods to use alcohol and drugs. "If we have evidence where individual operators of these facilities are negligent for people dying, we have also heard reports of rapes that have occurred inside these homes, that will also be investigated by the proper law enforcement officials," Mayes said. "This is tragic."
