Suspicious Charges Against Community Care Partners

Erna’s Medicaid insurance has been billed repeatedly by Community Care Partners, seemingly for ARMHS services. However, Erna claims she has never heard of this company nor received any services from them.

“It certainly feels like fraud,” she expressed, insisting that it can’t be anything else.

In an effort to uncover more about Community Care Partners, KARE 11 Investigates went to their office in St. Anthony as listed on the company website.

At Suite 312, there was just a small sign on the door, and the office appeared vacant, with no response during normal business hours.

The company’s online presence mirrored this emptiness, lacking real names or photos on its “Meet Our Team” webpage; all it featured was a phrase suggesting where to find them, along with the same St. Anthony address.

Records from the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office indicate that the registered administrator was Muna Mohammed.

When KARE 11 reached out, Muna Mohamed stated that she no longer had ties to the business, having sold it in December 2023. She shared sales records confirming that Community Care Partners had been sold for $60,000 to three buyers: Hibat Sharif, Musab Abdulkadir, and Mohamed Mohamed.

This ownership change occurred prior to Erna noticing the questionable charges during her review of insurance claims.

Her bill was part of a significant surge in Medicaid rates across the company, according to the records.

Data obtained by KARE 11 revealed a dramatic financial boom for Community Care Partners soon after the sale. In 2022, the company billed the ARMHS program $20,000, followed by $10,000 in 2023. Yet in 2024, post-sale, the billing soared nearly 7,000% to over $718,000.

In the case of Erna Hammerschmidt, it appears to involve payments made for nonexistent services.

“What you’re doing is fundamentally wrong morally and ethically,” Erna stated. “You can’t profit by treating people like a mere paycheck.”
