Documented Organizational Conflict of Interest – SafeGuard Services (Peraton UPIC) and Gainwell Technologies Share Exact Same Building During Investigation of Connecticut ABI Medicaid Whistleblower Complaint (March 26, 2026)

MEMORANDUM FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS Subject: Apparent Organizational Conflict of Interest Between SafeGuard Services LLC / Peraton (Northeastern UPIC) and Gainwell Technologies During Investigation of Connecticut Medicaid ABI Waiver Whistleblower Complaint Date: March 26, 2026 Summary On March 25, 2026, the Northeastern Unified Program Integrity Contractor (UPIC) SafeGuard Services LLC / Peraton contacted me regarding my whistleblower complaint alleging systemic Medicaid fraud and Olmstead violations in Connecticut’s ABI Waiver & MFP programs. The same day and the following day, Gainwell Technologies (the fiscal agent and claims processor for Connecticut Medicaid’s CMAP system) sent official system alerts to my provider account. Both contractors operate from the exact same physical building at 1250 Camp Hill Bypass, Camp Hill, PA 17011 (SafeGuard / Peraton in Suite 200; Gainwell in Suite 100). This physical co-location creates a clear appearance of organizational conflict of interest, which may compromise the independence required of a UPIC investigation. Roles of the Parties SafeGuard Services LLC / Peraton Acts as the Northeastern Unified Program Integrity Contractor (UPIC) for CMS. Responsible for independent audits, investigations, and enforcement of Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse. Gainwell Technologies Serves as the fiscal agent and Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) contractor for the State of Connecticut. Processes and pays all Medicaid claims for the ABI Waiver program. ABI Resources has experienced what may appear to be whistleblower retaliations from Gainwell Technologies.

Bischof, Project Coordinator, SafeGuard Services / Peraton UPIC, sent official email acknowledging my whistleblower complaint and requesting additional incident details (email attached). March 26, 2026 Gainwell Technologies sent CMAP E-Delivery Alert to my ABI Resources provider account. Legal and Regulatory Basis This arrangement violates the independence standards required for UPIC contractors: FAR Subpart 9.5 (Organizational Conflicts of Interest) 42 CFR § 455.238 (Conflict-of-Interest Rules for Contractors) CMS Program Integrity Manual (Chapter 4 – Contractor Requirements) The UPIC’s role demands complete independence from any entity whose operations it is investigating. Shared physical facilities create an unavoidable appearance of bias and potential improper influence. Impact The conflict directly affects the integrity of the investigation into my whistleblower allegations of systemic fraud, waste, abuse, and unnecessary institutionalization under the Olmstead Act. It also raises serious concerns about the handling of federal Medicaid funds in Connecticut. Current Status ZERO corrective action has been taken by CMS, HHS-OIG, or the contractors. The conflict remains unresolved.
