Seems to be a lot more going on in Maine
Bernardini alleges that Gateway oversaw a system in which false records were filed about client visits. He alleges an electronic monitoring system designed to track movements was manipulated to make it seem like field staff were visiting low income and disabled clients, when in reality they did not come within miles of the clients’ homes.
They then charged taxpayers for providing services that were never performed, according to Bernardini.
“I just couldn’t fathom it — I thought we were helping people; I thought this was all on the up-and-up,” Bernardini tells NewsNation in an exclusive interview. “I have a passion for helping people and I thought that we were doing the right thing this whole time.”
Bernardini says he grew disillusioned “when I saw how they were swindling people. When I had clients calling me to tell me their staff hadn’t shown up and I was told to bill those hours anyway. It just got worse and worse until I started really putting up a stink.”
