Autism Therapy Clinics Billing Medicaid While Toddlers Sleep

The New York Times exposed a disturbing racket: private equity-backed autism therapy clinics are billing Medicaid for hours while autistic toddlers sleep on cots. Maxi Holler is joined by Hauncho, forensic accountant Chubba Gin-Jani, civil rights lawyer Karen Crotchfield, and reporter Jimmy Fiddler to break down how chains like Centria, Hopebridge, and ABS Kids stack three billing tricks: max-code overbilling, billing during nap time, and ghost staffing with undertrained teenagers. The regulars at the bar weigh in with their own stories - 18-month waitlists, 90-minute drives to clinics that actually answer the phone, and parents too desperate to complain. Karen explains why these cases settle civilly with no executives in handcuffs, while Hauncho compares the operation to the union pension rackets he used to run. The episode closes with the story of Maria and her five-year-old son Diego, who stopped speaking after six months at one of these clinics. This is a non-monetized community effort. Call your state senator tonight and ask why no clinic executive is in handcuffs. Tonight's verse: Proverbs 22:22-23.
