Ohio’s Medicaid office searched for ways to continue paying hundreds of healthcare services providers after uncovering "credible allegations of fraud," violating the Affordable Care Act.
The state agency came up with "good cause" to continue funneling money to providers strongly suspected of fraud in 321 of the 401 cases that arose between July 2011 and June 2013, according to a report made public Tuesday by the Department of Health and Human Services inspector general.
