Owner Mohamed Abdirashid Omarxeyd charged with eight felony counts of theft by false representation for fraudulently billing Minnesota Medicaid over $3 million for personal care, companion care, homemaking, respite, and community support services.

Guardian Home Health Services (Minneapolis, MN) — Minnesota Medicaid Fraud

Outcome: Owner Mohamed Abdirashid Omarxeyd charged with eight felony counts of theft by false representation for fraudulently billing Minnesota Medicaid over $3 million across six service categories.

Guardian Home Health Services, a Minneapolis-based home health agency, was used by its owner to fraudulently bill Minnesota's Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program out of over $3 million. The fraudulent billing spanned multiple service categories: personal care assistant services, companion care services, homemaking services, respite care services, individualized home supports, and comprehensive community support services.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services had previously identified several of the billed service categories as high-risk provider types — meaning Guardian Home Health was operating in areas already under heightened scrutiny. Despite this, the billing fraud continued until investigation by the Minnesota Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit uncovered the scheme.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced charges on January 14, 2026, with Omarxeyd facing eight counts of felony theft by false representation. The breadth of the fraud across six service lines suggests systematic rather than incidental billing misconduct.
