$950M in shady Medicaid billing, aides ‘like homeless people’ tied to NJ senior care company: sources

A New Jersey-based medical group has presided over $950 million in shady Medicaid billing for home health care and adult day care services, an investigation by The Post reveals. One operation owned by Honor Health Network, the Broadway Respite and Home Care in Fair Lawn, has billed a staggering $157 million from Medicaid from 89,000 unique patients across a six-year period, according to federal spending data. This despite the entire county only having roughly 20,000 elderly Medicaid recipients, according to data from Georgetown University. Broadway Adult Day Care, at 24-20 Broadway in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, on Oct. 28, 2026. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post Broadway Adult Day Care billed Medicaid $40 million between 2018 and 2024 for 28,000 unique patients, according to data. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post “It doesn’t look right. It’s very weird,” a former Medicaid fraud investigator, who requested anonymity, told The Post after reviewing the numbers. The home care industry gobbles up hundreds of billions of dollars a year in Medicaid funding, paying individuals to look after homebound, chronically -ill seniors. However, it is routinely scammed, according to federal authorities and previous Post investigations . Two home care entities operated by Honor Health Network —

Nellie Pou declares victory over Rosie Pino in NJ’s 9th District

Rep. Nellie Pou declared victory on Nov. 3 in her bid for a second term representing New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District, where Republicans had hoped to build on President Donald Trump’s narrow win two years earlier. The Democratic incumbent issued a statement at about 10 p.m. thanking voters after opening a large lead over Republican Rosie Pino, a Clifton councilwoman, in initial returns that included early voting and some mail-in ballots. Independent Terrisa Bukovinac also ran for the seat. “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the people of New Jersey’s Ninth District for the trust they have placed in me,” Pou said. Speaking by phone just a few minutes earlier as she traveled between campaign gatherings, Pou said she was optimistic about the returns but stopped short of declaring a win. “I do believe that we will be victorious, and the numbers are looking exceptionally good,” she told NorthJersey.com. Pou first won the seat in 2024 after the death of longtime Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., defeating Republican Billy Prempeh by about 5 percentage points even as Trump narrowly carried the district. Democrats regained ground in the 2025 governor’s race in the district, which includes Paterson, Passaic

Billionaire Mark Cuban says he can save NJ money on drug costs | Exclusive

When New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced last month that she was putting together a working group to reform the health insurance plan for public employees once and for all, Texas billionaire Mark Cuban eagerly raised his hand, offering to help . The two exchanged messages on the social media site, X. Cuban, with 8.5 million followers, told her he was ready to tick people off. Sherrill, with 112,000 followers, told him she was done kicking the can down the road and wanted him on Team Jersey. Weeks later, their motivation is coming into focus. Both Sherrill and Cuban have railed against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), a segment of the health care industry that is under scrutiny for its role in rising drug prices. Sherrill has promised reform. Cuban is waiting in the wings with what he says is a less expensive model. Their potentially powerful alliance could disrupt PBMs, which manage employers' prescription drug plans. One study found New Jersey public employees — and taxpayers — could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars if the workers had bought their generic drugs from Cuban's CostPlusDrugs site instead of using their insurance through the state's PBM, Optum Rx .
