Attorney General Gary King says it
could take several months for his office to complete an investigation of
overpayments and possible fraud by behavioral health providers in
King told the Legislative Finance Committee on Wednesday that his
office hasn't made a determination about the allegations forwarded to his
office by the Human Services Department. The department froze payments to 15
nonprofit groups last month after an audit found what the agency said was a
high rate of billing problems.
Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squier defended
her agency's action in testimony to the committee and assured lawmakers that
steps were being taken to prevent an interruption of mental health and
substance abuse services to patients.
