Essentially, that means the health department was reimbursing health care providers for treating patients enrolled in Medicaid through the state of Louisiana who were not living in the state at the time.


We know they won't but it sounds like these health care providers needs to repay the state. You know damn well they would come after your or I if they incorrectly sent us money.

Except for the offices likely verified eligibility before providing services. Its not really on the providers. Its the people running around using benefits they know they arent entitled to.

i am a "provider". it is not my responsibility to make sure someone is living here. that is the responsibility of the people providing free health insurance. my job is to see the patient and take care of the patient.

and it happens all the time. its way more than 100 million since 2016. i ask patients that have Texas addresses and they say oh I still live in Louisiana but I'm over working right now.
