California needs to repay the federal government after improperly claiming reimbursement from the Medicaid program for some immigrant patients, according to a recently released report.
California needs to repay more than $52 million to the federal government after improperly claiming reimbursement from the Medicaid program for some immigrant patients, according to a recently released report from federal inspectors. The findings, released by the Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, come as California has been staring down a $44.9-billion deficit.
California used a formula to determine how much of those payments went to 'nonemergency services' for immigrant patients whose care is not covered by the federal government, then subtracted it from the total to calculate how much went to their emergency care, which can be reimbursed under Medicaid.
