White Glove Community Care (Brooklyn, NY) — Medicaid Fraud and Worker Wage Theft (2022)
Outcome: White Glove Community Care, Inc., a Brooklyn, New York home health agency, paid over $3 million under two settlement agreements with the New York Attorney General to resolve simultaneous violations: submitting false Medicaid claims and systematically cheating home health workers out of earned wages.
White Glove Community Care, Inc. operated a home health agency in Brooklyn, New York, employing home health aides who provided care to Medicaid beneficiaries. The agency committed two separate violations: (1) causing false claims to be submitted to Medicaid, and (2) engaging in wage theft by withholding earned wages from its home health employees.
The dual enforcement action is notable because it addresses both the healthcare fraud and labor exploitation aspects of home care agency misconduct. New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the settlement in December 2022. Home health agencies in New York are required to comply with both Medicaid billing regulations and New York Labor Law minimum wage, overtime, and wage payment requirements for home care workers.
