The DA's office said that the report cannot come from a civilian. It would have to come from a law enforcement agency or some sort of licensing entity such as TDLR. So I believe that TDLR has the capacity. They just can choose.
I don't know all the ins and outs of what that looks like and what would prevent TDLR from raising a case like this to people who can prosecute criminally, which I think that's something that needs to be looked at within itself.

I think especially a state entity, if you are presented with a complaint or a case, I think that is your duty to your consumers to report that crime because it leaves people like us civilians with no restitution.

I also discovered that if Jennifer is found guilty of what she did, the maximum disciplinary action she'd receive would be up to a year of revocation of her license and admin fees, however much they decided would be adequate for the situation. So that was very disappointing for us. We really had a lot of hope and stock put into TDLR.

Yes. There was a larger investigation that was opened for all of Origins cases that is ongoing as well right now. And so I think my case may be hung up until that one comes to a resolution as well. I reported Origins for committing Medicaid fraud. I want to say March of last year. Maybe it was a little later than that.

But I contacted the Medicaid fraud unit in Dallas and spoke to one of their sergeants. Essentially, I told them they have been using newborn test kits that are for Medicaid patients only. When you order newborn screening kits, you can order for self-pay and insured patients, and then you can order for Medicaid patients. Medicaid patients are completely free. They were ordering the Medicaid ones.

using them on self-pay and insured clients and then charging insurance and those self-pay clients for those free Medicaid newborn screening kits that they were receiving from the state. He was like, how do you know this? So I told him my story and some of the stories of the people that I know gave information about basically the fraudulent activities that Origins had been part of.

Well, this sergeant wanted to take on the patient negligence and other things and began interviewing several different people who had negative outcomes with origins. But there was a jurisdiction issue where he was only supposed to do investigations on Medicaid fraud. And it was outside of his jurisdiction to also investigate patient abuse and negligence and insurance fraud. So he went to TDLR.
