The Ohio attorney general's office says its units that deal with Medicaid and workers' compensation fraud recovered a record-setting amount in the last fiscal year.
Attorney General Mike DeWine says more than $101 million was recovered by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which secured 135 indictments and 121 convictions.
DeWine's office says the workers' compensation unit recovered nearly $1.9 million and had 99 indictments and 100 convictions.
He says it's important that funds meant to help the injured and the sick are used as they're intended - and added that more agents have been hired this year to help with the task.
