FOX 10 confronts CEO of rehab clinic under investigation

Описание: FOX 10 Investigates exposed what health officials are calling an unlicensed treatment center at a Tempe hotel property.

We’re learning more about NewFound Hope, the company behind the operation that is under state investigation.

Both the state’s Medicaid agency and the Department of Health Services (DHS) are investigating NewFound Hope. Records show dozens of people have been housed at a "decommissioned" Ramada Inn without valid licensing.

The company is also accused of Medicaid fraud in the midst of a statewide sober living crisis.

We finally caught up with NewFound Hope’s owner to see what he had to say while at the Arizona Office of Administrative Hearings on Aug. 4.

"I gotta tell you no comments until you guys put facts on TV that are real, no fake news," said Denis Artiles, NewFound Hope CEO.

He responds saying "absolutely" before FOX 10 Investigator Justin Lum can finish asking if he denies the allegations in our previous report on NewFound Hope.

Lum continues, "… of offering services without proper clinical oversight or excessive billing?"

"I have no further comment," Artiles said.

He never responded to FOX 10 for our previous report.

A little more than a week later, he was found after a private hearing with Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), the state’s Medicaid agency.
