The Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines Commission published its 2026 Sentencing Guidelines over the weekend, which included some harsher penalties for high-dollar fraud in the state. According to the new guidelines, those convicted of stealing more than $1 million from Minnesota’s Medicaid program will go to prison, with first-time offenders facing a presumptive four-year prison sentence. The modification raises fraud exceeding $1 million to a severity level 8 offence. #Minnesota #MedicaidFraud #Fraud #HealthcareFraud ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
