Some findings repeat previous audits, at time when administration vowed to crack down on repeats; Seshamani says audit does not reflect progress made
The state agency responsible for overseeing Medicaid payments and services lacked “effective processes” to identify millions in questionable payments made to dead or incarcerated people, according to an audit released this week.
The Office of Legislative Audits also found that the Medical Care Programs Administration did not process changes to care plans in a timely manner, possibly delaying care for vulnerable patients. Those were among other findings in the report that was issued May 20 and released to the public Tuesday.
The report, which covered MCPA operations from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2025, included a number of the troublesome “repeat audit findings” that lawmakers and the Moore administration have identified as a top issue in recent months, after a string of damaging audits last year.
It found eight instances of questionable fiscal documentation or program oversight that could indicate improper management of funds for Medicaid, the joint federal-state health care plan largely targeted for low-income households and other challenging situations.
Auditors noted that six of those findings were similar to the previous audit for MCPA released in November 2023, covering the agency’s operations from August 2018 through March 2022.
