It’s not just Minnesota where people have bilked Medicaid for millions.
Federal auditors found $198 million “improper payments” for Medicaid-funded autism services in four states, and another $410 million may have been incorrectly billed.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) put Medicaid spending for autism care in Indiana, Wisconsin, Maine and Colorado under the microscope, examining 100 monthly bills in each state over a year.
They found potential payment errors in every single one.
According to the audits, Indiana made at least $56 million in improper payouts, Wisconsin $18.5 million, Maine $45.6 million and Colorado a whopping $77.8 million.
