My nephew is supposed to be his grandmothers Homehealth Provider but instead the lady gets the check and splits it with him every pay day. She does NOT need a provider as she is fit enough to go gambling very often and drinks everyday and has no issues walking or anything of the sort! My nephew and her have had this scam going for quite a few years. The kid is an alcoholic and the grandma "not so grandma" is always driving everywhere out of town, but, yes gambling in Eagle Pass, TX and drinking are her favorite things to do and half of the check she gives to my nephew as he is also an alcoholic and druggie.I'm not sure who to report it to though?

I would think she is evaluated every so many months or has to renew once a year. I think I would just let it go. Reporting them may backfire on you. You may need to care for her.

It is not for you to decide whether or not someone needs homecare or what program pays for it.

Your nephew's grandmother met the requirements for the program that pays for her homecare. A doctor (sometimes more than one) has to certify that the person getting the paid for homecare services needs them. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you aren't a doctor and you don't work for Medicaid or Medicare. So, it's not your call on who needs services and who doesn't.

Actually, your nephew should be getting the whole check if he is the designated caregiver and his name is on the paperwork.

A Texas Home Health Provider is a state-authorized medical agency that brings qualified healthcare professionals�like skilled nurses, therapists, aides�directly into a patient's home. Services are covered by Medicare and Medicaid when a physician certifies the patient as homebound and the care is medically necessary. The goal is to support recovery, manage chronic conditions, or provide ongoing care, all while allowing patients to remain in their homes. A Texas Home Health Provider must be licensed and certified through Medicare and Texas Medicaid, including programs like CSHCN.

It will depend where this check is coming from, as that is who you need to report their scam to.

What qualified the grandmother to receive a person designated to help her? There had to have been a diagnosed health condition even if you believe it was false. Who is the check you mention coming from? If it’s regular Social Security, she will likely qualify just due to age. If it’s disability, also a part of Social Security, you can call the agency and report suspected fraud. A lot depends on who is paying for nephew to be caregiver and where the check is coming from…
