From the post:
>Earlier today, the HHS DOGE team announced they open-sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history. 227 million rows of provider-level claims data, aggregated by billing provider, procedure code, and month, covering 2018 through 2024. They said the dataset could have been used to detect large-scale fraud like what happened in Minnesota.
When I first heard about the massive Medicaid fraud in Minnesota, I immediately thought the same thing was probably happening in Maine. I used to live there. The state is poorly managed, the governor is terrible, and nobody is watching how Medicaid dollars get spent. So I downloaded the data and started digging. Here's what I found.
Before I get into the details, I want to be clear about a few things. Every dollar amount below comes from public records. Every business name is pulled straight from the federal provider registry. Every address was filed with CMS by the providers themselves. I didn't hack anything or access anything non-public. I just downloaded some files and started asking questions.
