The Louisiana Department of Health may have doled out upwards of $85 million on ineligible recipients in the state's expanded Medicaid program.
The evaluation covered a 20-month period using Louisiana Workforce Commission data and involved only a sampling of Medicaid recipients to reach the report's conclusions.
LDH Secretary Rebekah Gee says the agency has a new system in place now that checks LWC data and other wage data to determine a person's eligibility.
