Minnesota woman accused of using $600K in Medicaid funds for flights, food, rides
CBS Minnesota via MSN ^ | March 12, 2026 | Ubah Ali

This week, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit charged Gertrue Kemunto Mongare with multiple counts of felony theft by false representation.

Investigators say Mongare is the owner of B&G Caring Angels LLC, a Medicaid-enrolled home health care agency. She's accused of submitting more than 3,000 claims totaling more than $600,000 over four years.

WCCO went to the address listed for the business to ask for comment. No one answered the door, and when we called the unit number, we were hung up on.

According to the complaint, investigators found no records of services provided and no background checks for employees. Mongare told investigators timesheets were submitted verbally.

Investigators also say Mongare did not know some of the recipients she and her fiancée were billing for.

We must thank heaven for small favors. At least the fraudulent business didn’t call itself Careing Angles.

What’s ironic about this is, a cardiologist I used to use was fined by Medicare for performing what Medicare deemed to be unnecessary stress tests. This is a very reputable doctor, in a very reputable practice, who sees God only knows how many patients a day. He doesn’t need to commit fraud. I don’t know for sure but I would bet that the issue wasn’t fraudulent tests, it was a difference in opinion of what was necessary. Now we’re hearing about billions and billions of dollars of total fraud.

In the article their is a line “looking for NEW ways to combat fraud!” How is it that state and Federal agencies do not do yearly if not bi-annual physical checks to verify the submitted billing? Anytime I ever dealt with a state or government agency The rules were cut and dry and any information and MONEY especially had to be verified.

Could have been worse. It could have been a day care business.
