Clinic employees are accused of being ordered to backdate medical appointment dates, a practice known as schedule "scrubbing." The Hibbing Clinic is run by Sterling Medical, which manages at least four other VA CBOCs in Minnesota, including Mankato, St. James, and Ely. Sterling has said the clinic never ordered its employees to backdate appointments. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, along with Representatives Tim Walz and Rick Nolan, called for an investigation after allegations of misconduct at the clinic surfaced back in November. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
