A top prosecutor suggested on Thursday that the total amount of fraud in Minnesota could be $9 billion or more.

According to First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, 14 Medicaid services under audit and deemed "high risk" for fraud have cost the state $18 billion since 2018.

Thompson said a substantial amount of money billed across those programs is fraudulent, but the exact amount is still under investigation.

"I don't make these generalizations in a hasty way," he said. "When I say significant amount, I'm talking on the order of half or more. But we'll see. When I look at the claims data and the providers, I see more red flags than I see legitimate providers."
