Hundreds of Native Americans have been recruited to addiction treatment centers in Phoenix from states as far away as Montana in a widespread billing scheme that mostly targeted Medicaid’s American Indian Health Program
based on"credible allegations of fraud" as of Aug. 18. Some providers closed and some have appealed to stay open.
Last year, Johnwick Nathan, 29, was indicted on multiple counts of fraud, money laundering and forgery. Authorities allege Nathan illegally billed Medicaid on behalf of Native American clients, a charge he denies. He is scheduled to be tried Sept. 18. Diana Marie Moore, 42, will be sentenced Dec. 18 after an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service. A federal court required her to forfeit property obtained through the fraud, including four homes, seven high-end vehicles and luxury items including Rolex watches, diamond rings and a rainbow of Louis Vuitton handbags.
“Something didn’t look right,” said Stewart, who manages an Indigenous arts shop nearby. Around that time, her cousin disappeared into a similar vehicle in New Mexico.

That’s not only good for the bees, but also certain bird species, especially ruby-throated hummingbirds.
