D.C.’s former Medicaid provider, Chartered Health Plan Inc., owes health care providers in the District $60 million for services rendered. Last week, the company, which is in receivership, sued former major shareholder Jeffrey E. Thompson for allegedly diverting $17 million in taxpayer funds to other companies he controlled. Even if the lawsuit is successful, District taxpayers will still be facing a potential $43 million liability. This is outrageous, especially since this is not the first time Thompson has been sued for fraud.
