WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Company officials say federal agents are investigating records seized from Iowa Home Care offices in West Des Moines, Clive and Fort Dodge. Agents from the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services were seen carrying boxes of records from the West Des Moines office on Tuesday afternoon.

Pete Deegan of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Northern Iowa would not comment other than to say the agents were conducting official business. The company says it “looks forward to cooperating fully with state and federal authorities regarding any questions related to our record-keeping practices.”

Iowa Home Care offers home health care services in 36 Iowa counties, most of which are in central, north central and south central Iowa.
