Federal prosecutors on Tuesday busted a Maine home health care agency that reportedly billed nearly $48 million from MaineCare.
A federal grand jury indicted South Portland’s Community Home Health Care LLC, owner Noora Abd, and five people who worked there. Authorities allege that at least $600,000 in billing was fraudulent, and all six involved individuals were arrested.
'If, as alleged in the indictment returned last week, you steal from our health care system for your own financial gain, you too, will be shut down and brought to justice.'
Prosecutors allege that the defendants submitted fake Electronic Visit Verifications for a MaineCare member, listed as "Client 1." MaineCare paid Community Home Health more than $600,000 for that client's care since 2020, according to the indictment.
MaineCare later reversed about $35,000 of those payments, the indictment says.
Agents seized $116,854 in cash in Biddeford on or about June 23, most of it from a bedroom safe that also held jewelry, according to the indictment. Agents also confiscated $53,768.85 in Augusta.
Community seems to have billed more from MaineCare than any other home health care company in Maine. The company, established in 2016, received $47,986,855 from MaineCare from 2019 through 2025, according to the Maine Wire.
The state suspended its billing on June 30, according to the Maine Wire.

The Maine Wire visited Community’s office, located above a South Portland gym, in April. Staff insisted the business was legitimate.
Prosecutors allege the fraud was perpetrated in a straightforward manner. Mohammed Alkhalaf, a personal support specialist at Community, logged in to the Electronic Visit Verifications system with the usernames and passwords of co-defendants Adel Al Rashid, Sura Almohammed, and Ethar Alyaseen, plus an uncharged "Person 1," according to the indictment.
The defendants shared their Electronic Visit Verifications access with one another so that false visits could be recorded under their names, prosecutors allege.
Abd and Faysal Kalayaf Manahe learned that federal agents were investigating the company on or about June 23, according to the indictment. Prosecutors allege the pair subsequently urged a witness, "Person 2," to refrain from communicating with law enforcement.
The duo also instructed Person 2 to give investigators misleading or inaccurate information if law enforcement officers questioned Person 2, according to prosecutors.
When questioned at his home in Augusta, Alkhalaf allegedly told an FBI agent that he had never filed care hours for anyone but himself.
All six individuals and the company itself are charged with health care fraud conspiracy, which carries up to 10 years in prison. Abd and Manahe also face an obstruction count, and Alkhalaf faces a false-statements count, according to the court docket.
Manahe is no stranger to federal court.
He runs Decent Health Care in Augusta, which billed MaineCare $4,848,112 in 2025. The state suspended its billing on June 30 after uncovering credible evidence that it charged for services that were never actually provided, according to an August report from the Maine Wire. The outlet identified Manahe as an Iraqi immigrant.
The Justice Department charged Manahe and three other home-care managers with conspiring to fix the wages of personal support workers in 2022, though a jury acquitted all four in 2023.
The case is part of the Trump administration's Homeland Security Task Force, created under an executive order titled "Protecting the American People Against Invasion." The FBI, HHS-OIG, HSI, and IRS-CI investigated alongside Maine's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
"Health care fraud — in all its forms — costs all of us, and today's arrests should make it clear that if, as alleged in the indictment returned last week, you steal from our health care system for your own financial gain, you too will be shut down and brought to justice,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Benson said.
Stephen Smith, an attorney for Alkhalaf, declined to comment.
Attorneys for Abd, Community Home Health Care, Al Rashid, Almohammed, and Alyaseen did not immediately respond to Blaze News' requests for comment.

The newest crime report from the DOJ's Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that non-fatal crime has plummeted during the first year of the second Trump administration.
The preliminary estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey — which collects information from victims of non-fatal crimes, not data from police reports — show a significant decrease in violent crime, property victimization, burglary or trespassing, theft of motor vehicles, and other household theft in 2025.
'This success reinforces our commitment to ensuring every American can live, work, and raise a family without fear.'
The survey said non-fatal violent crime, which excludes simple assault, fell by 25%, from 9.9 out of 1,000 in 2024 to 7.4 out of 1,000 in 2025. This includes rape, sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault.
Aggravated assault also dropped by 31% over the same period, from 4.5 per 1,000 people to 3.1 per 1,000 people, according to a Justice Department press release on Monday.
"This report is proof that President Trump’s ‘Make America Safe Again’ agenda is working," said Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward in a press release statement.
“Under President Trump and Attorney General Blanche, the safety of law-abiding Americans will always come first. This success reinforces our commitment to ensuring every American can live, work, and raise a family without fear.”
Property victimization dropped by 19%, burglary or trespassing rates are down by 25%, motor vehicle theft is down 30%, and other kinds of household theft are down by 19%.
"Each year, BJS collects information from a nationally representative sample of about 240,000 persons, aged 12 or older, in about 150,000 U.S. households on the frequency, characteristics, and consequences of non-fatal criminal victimization in the United States," the DOJ explained.
The DOJ said the drop in crime rates was the greatest since the survey began in 1973.

Democrats have resisted some of the president's orders on criminal enforcement by accusing him of employing authoritarian measures in order to intimidate his political opponents.
Others like Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, have admitted that the president sending federal law enforcement has helped stamp out crime.
Some estimates put the economic cost of crime to be between $4.71 and $5.76 trillion on an annual basis.

A total of over 250 congressmen, on both sides of the political aisle, have hatched a plan to change the "heritage" that people celebrate during the most American month of the year.
On Monday, Indian-born Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) proposed a resolution to designate July as "Indian American Heritage Month."
'If y'all are just as American as anyone else, why do you need a month to honor your distinctiveness?'
The resolution, which was co-sponsored by over 200 of Krishnamoorthi's Democrat colleagues as well as 50 Republicans, seeks to honor "the contributions of Indian Americans."
Citing 2023 Census data, the resolution notes that there are "more than 5,200,000 Indian Americans" in the country, though that number has likely increased substantially due in part to legal immigration programs like the H-1B visa.
Krishnamoorthi's resolution holds that July is the appropriate time of year to celebrate the Indian people because July 2 marks the anniversary of President Harry S. Truman signing the Luce-Celler Act of 1946.
The Luce-Celler Act of 1946 was co-sponsored by Clare Boothe Luce and Emanuel Celler, better known for the Hart-Celler Act of 1965.

The law made Filipinos and Indians racially eligible for naturalization; it was passed in anticipation of the successful independence movements of the respective countries.
The Democrat congressman, who was born, coincidentally, on July 19 in New Delhi, India, posted an announcement on social media celebrating the resolution.
The post, which notably bears the colors of the Indian flag without any explicit reference to any American symbols, read: "I'm proud to lead 256 bipartisan cosponsors in a resolution to designate July as Indian American Heritage Month."
"Generations of Indian Americans have helped build and strengthen our country. It's time we honor their contributions and celebrate their enduring legacy," Krishnamoorthi added.
The congressman's post, which received more than 300,000 views but only 1,000 likes, was flooded with pushback and negative comments.
"Kind of disgusting to try to coopt the month of our national birthday," one commenter said.
Another commenter pointed out the absurdities of the proposal: "Wait. If y'all are just as American as anyone else, why do you need a month to honor your distinctiveness? What months does India set aside to honor foreign ancestries it welcomed into the country?"
Blaze Media's Logan Hall even joined the fray, saying, "Hey buddy not sure if you are aware of this but July is when we celebrate America and Americans."
While the resolution was overwhelmingly led by Democrats, it is also supported by dozens of well-known Republican lawmakers, including Kentucky Rep. Andy Barr; Texas Reps. Jake Ellzey, Ronny Jackson, and Dan Crenshaw; Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick; New York Reps. Mike Lawler and Elise Stefanik; and Ohio Rep. Mike Turner.
