What the release says
The Minnesota Attorney General's Office issued a release dated October 29, 2026. It says agents from the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit took part in searches that morning at two providers of autism services: Iska, Inc. in St. Louis Park and Bright Horizon Therapy Center in Edina. It says the agents executed search warrants and worked with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the FBI. It describes both providers as offering autism services under Minnesota's Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) benefit, along with other Medicaid-funded care, and says the unit is investigating both for Medicaid fraud.
What it does not say
The release gives no dollar amount of Medicaid payments at issue for either provider. It mentions no charges and calls the investigations ongoing. It cites the unit's overall record (358 convictions and $90 million in judgments and recoveries since 2019) but ties that record to neither provider. A trade outlet has reported a payment figure for the two providers; we have not verified that figure, and the Attorney General's release does not contain it.
Analysis: A search warrant is an investigative step, not a finding. For a buyer, a lender or a payor looking at any Minnesota ABA operator, the practical point is that the state's fraud unit and federal agents are working together on autism billing right now. Diligence on a Minnesota target should ask for any payor or state inquiry correspondence, any subpoena or document request received, and the compliance program in place before the inquiry. We will watch for a charging document or an agency statement and update this entry if one appears.
