Improperly used Medicaid funds to cost NH $35 million | New Hampshire NEWS06
Federal officials have decided that New Hampshire must repay $35 million in Medicaid funds that were improperly used in 2004, state health officials said yesterday.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas said the state will ask for reconsideration of the decision, but in the meantime he will work with the Legislature and prepare a contingency plan.
If the Fed's dig a little deeper, 35 million in payback for New Hampshire will just be a drop in the bucket!
Note: Isn't it also Medicaid fraud when a hospital keep's a newborn in the hospital for a month and feed's the baby morphine when the baby doesn't have withdrawl symptom's? After the baby has already been evaluated to be discharged with a clean bill of health? Only in NH!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it also Medicaid fraud when a certain acute care/short stay NH state run psychiatric hospital for children kept a child in the hospital for several months because the hospital couldn't figure out where to place the child, kept another child in the hospital for many months while collecting that child's mental disability social security monies + NH Medicaid only to claim that the child had no mental illness, and was same hospital who roomed children under age 6 with teens and roomed other children from this hospital in their other psychiatric hospital for adults that shared the same hospital grounds!
