You bet they did.
A wealthy Minnesota Catholic religious
order and a Catholic-owned rehabilitation hospital engaged in
potential Missouri Medicaid insurance fraud to get free health care for a
sex-offending priest, a newly released document shows.
The 2014 document, released as a part of a legal settlement against the Benedictines of Minnesota and sex-offending priests,
show that the order withheld money from a priest in their employ—so
that he would seem indigent and his health care would be paid for by the
State of Missouri. The document is stamped OSB McDONALD-OO861. It is page 420 of the pdf at the link.
