Yesterday we posted what @MiddeskHQ found when we cross-referenced the @DOGE_HHS dataset against our business identity infrastructure. 300K+ views later, people are asking: what does this fraud actually look like up close? 🧵

Kyle Mack@KyleTMack

HHS just open-sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in history. About $1T in claims data, free for anyone to analyze via @DOGE_HHS. Everyone's looking at what was billed. At @MiddeskHQ, we're looking at who's behind the billing. Here's what we found 🧵

Had a great chat with @ReggieCYoung about all things business identity, AI, and the future of @MiddeskHQ

Middesk@MiddeskHQ

AI models aren't the constraint for business identity. Business data is. Middesk CEO Kyle Mack joined Reggie Young on Fintech Layer Cake (presented by Lithic) to talk about why automation in fintech depends on the quality of the identity layer beneath it. Middesk works with roughly 400 government agencies across the U.S. to bring primary-source business data into onboarding and risk workflows. Without complete, reliable data, it's difficult to distinguish a fraudulent entity from a legitimate company that incorporated three days ago. And impossible to automate decisions with confidence. That layer has to be right before anything else can scale. buzzsprout.com/1985266/episod…

@typesfast What do you think will be the ways fraud will happen through the broader refund process?

We're enrolling companies be the first in line to process for tariff refunds start happening. 22 Fortune 500 Companies signed up to get into the process yesterday. We've made the process dead simple and free to enroll. When the window opens, we will be the fastest, most accurate, and most affordable way to get refunds in the world.

@imthemusic This is only one narrowly defined fraud pattern related to paying out to blacklisted providers

I am going to get lambasted for this, but.... $1.09T in payments of which ~$2.3B was fraudulent. I know $2.3B is a lot of money, but that means that $1.087T was not fraudulent. So Medicaid had a 0.2% fraud rate. Fraudsters gonna fraud - how is medicaid so good at preventing it?

Kyle Mack@KyleTMack

From 2018–2024, $1.09T in Medicaid payments went to ~1.6M providers. The biggest category was personal care services (in-home visits) at $122B. The fastest growing was behavioral health/substance abuse claims, up 450%+ over 5 years.

Started in Obama with Data.gov and the exec order that all federal data by default should be open and machine readable. Then much of it was put into law during Trump 1. It’s taken far too long to get this out. And needs much more augmentation/cleaning. Good start, far from done

This is one cluster. Across our analysis, we found networks of providers totaling $1.7B in Medicaid payouts linked through shared addresses, officers, and formation patterns. The truth is mapping these connections is difficult, it requires broad data access, tooling, and strong analytical research.

@KyleTMack @DOGE_HHS @MiddeskHQ There’s so much more to the story x.com/inferencepoint…

Samantics@inferencepoint

DOGE dropped the largest Medicaid dataset in history couple days ago. Everyone's posting screenshots of the top billers. Nobody's digging into WHY the numbers look like that. I downloaded all 227 million rows. Here's what I found underneath. 🧵

@bgurley Engineers in HHS like @zachterrell57, @nixonandrewg spoke with Axios on making the data public, obviously @elonmusk amplifying and helping to make this possible.

Awesome Something to keep in mind: with the “cell suppression” policy (dropping rows with small claim counts), we lose ~80% of the data, so the actual total $ amount is much higher Working on ways to lower that cell suppression threshold so we can release a larger version of the dataset

TLDR we mapped $1.7B in Medicaid payments to high confidence fraud

This is just a conservative pass of blacklisted providers, revoked licenses, and the businesses directly connected to them. There's much more to dig into: anomalies in average claim sizes, geographic clustering, further validation of individual provider legitimacy.
