Overview
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison charged Mohamed Abdirashid Omarxeyd, 57, with eight felony counts of theft by false representation in Hennepin County District Court.
- Prosecutors say he used Guardian Home Health Services to bill for unprovided or ineligible care from 2020 to 2024, totaling more than $3.2 million from Medicaid and Medica.
- Investigators report former employees admitted not performing billed services, and financial records show more than $2 million flowed to Omarxeyd, his wife, and related companies.
- A second defendant, Maryan Garad, is accused of helping submit fraudulent claims tied to the scheme.
- The AG’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit led the case with help from the BCA, DHS, and local police, while Minnesota freezes new enrollments for 13 high‑risk services and a separate federal inquiry that some prosecutors say could reach into the billions continues.
