Omaha, NE - State Investigates Foster Care Agency for Over billing
State Investigates Foster Care Agency for Over billing
http://www.kmtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=8371878 Omaha, NE - The Nebraska State Patrol and the Department of Health and Human Services are investigating Sigma Treatment Foster Care in Omaha for alleged over billing. A spokesperson for HHS tells Action 3 News Sigma has a contract with the state to provide counseling and family support services to ninety children currently in state foster care. A search warrant was issued for records related to bills submitted to the state. The office was searched Friday morning by state and federal investigators. Accusations of over billing trigger a state and federal investigation of a north Omaha foster care provider. The financial shake down started when someone tipped off the Department of Health and Human Services. After two months of behind-the-scenes investigating, today detectives raid Sigma Treatment Foster Care. "There has been some allegations made of some improper financial dealings and we are just trying to find out what the truth is," says Lt. Scott Kracl, Nebraska State Patrol. Digging for answers, investigators confiscate financial records. Sigma's owner, Donna Adams turns them over to the State Patrol as other detectives dig for additional clues. "They've been cooperative and certainly they are concerned but have been very cooperative." While all evidence collected from the foster care manager will be analyzed for clues that Sigma and it owner Adams ripped off taxpayers, the State Patrol is asked if anything on the surface appears incriminating. "Not really. That's why we're here. We'll take a look at it once we compile that information and try to analyses it and see what it tells us." With little details available, health and human services turns it's attention to the children. "Well I know that DHHS, they have been very helpful. They are ensuring that the kids that are involved with their care are taken care of. As far as that extent, I am not sure or have been told of any problems." Donna Adams and her attorney won't comment on the investigation. Currently more than 90 children are in the care of sigma foster homes. Sigma is located at 56th and Ames.
