KY Hires Company To Review Medicaid
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear announced Tuesday that the state has hired a company to detect waste, fraud and abuse in the state's Medicaid program. On October 4th, Kentucky signed a contract with Minnesota-based Ingenix, a company which will
use computer technology to review medical claims from Kentucky Medicaid providers.
The contract is part of Medicaid cost-containment initiatives announced in July. State officials estimate that the new system will identify $27 million each year in excess spending.
