Nick Shirley, later joined by CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, visits adult daycare centers, a home care agency, pharmacies, and durable medical equipment companies in Flushing, Queens, alleging widespread Medicaid fraud through kickbacks to elderly enrollees and billing for implausible patient counts. Using CMS/HHS provider spending data, he confronts individual daycares billing $5-13 million each, including Sunrise Senior Service ($12.9M in 2024 for 7,899 claimed patients) and Red Sun Homecare ($87.9M since 2018 off one billing code). Dr. Oz states social adult daycare generated $2.5 billion in New York State over three years, with about $2.1 billion concentrated in the Flushing/Brooklyn area, and alleges links to organized crime and money laundering.

Of the $2.5 billion in New York State social adult daycare spending, almost all — $2.1 billion — was concentrated in Flushing, Queens, Brooklyn, and surrounding areas (a component of the $2.5B state total, not additional). Nick later restates this as roughly $2 billion within a few miles of Flushing at 45:22.

Red Sun Homecare billed the government $87.9 million from 2018 to 2024 ($17.2 million in 2024 alone, a component of the cumulative total), with over 674,000 claims since 2018 and 99.86% of revenue coming from a single billing code.
“Red Sun Homeare has built the government $87.9 million from 2018 to 2024”
Stated by Nick Shirley (narration, citing HHS/CMS data) · verifier note: All figures are accurate per the transcript (lines 72-76: $87.9M 2018-2024, $17.2M and 122,000 claims in 2024, 674,000+ claims since 2018, 99.86% from one code), but the status should be 'official_estimate' rather than 'alleged': Nick explicitly cites these numbers as coming 'straight from the databases that the government has... HHS... and CMS', the same sourcing that got other per-entity billing claims (Sunrise, Beautiful Palace) classified as official_estimate. The fraud insinuation is alleged; the dollar figures are presented as official data.
Sunrise Senior Service, described as the number one daycare in the area, received over $44 million over the past few years.

Some individual adult daycares in Flushing, Queens have received more than $40 million each; likely refers to Sunrise Senior Service (profiled later at $44M), so it overlaps with that claim and should not be added separately.

All figures are as stated in the video — most are allegations, not adjudicated findings. Every dollar figure links to the timestamp where it is said. Extraction QA: Exceptionally faithful extraction: every dollar amount, beneficiary count, percentage, and quote was located verbatim in the transcript, and the extraction correctly flagged double-count risks ($20M = $12.9M + $7.6M; component splits) and ASR artifacts (spurious dollar signs on patient counts, '20125', 'Homeare', 'Hydro Seam'). Zero hallucinations found. The single correction is a classification inconsistency: Red Sun Homecare's billing figures are marked 'alleged' even though Nick cites them from HHS/CMS government databases, the same sourcing that earned other entities an 'official_estimate' status; one trivial nit is that the 45:22 '$2 billion within a few miles' restatement blends Nick's dollar figure with Dr. Oz's geographic qualifier.
