STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL GARY KING HOPES TO HAVE HIS INVESTIGATION INTO FRAUD ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SEVERAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR. THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD THE LEGISLATIVE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON THURSDAY.
THE MARTINEZ ADMINISTRATION SUSPENDED MEDICAID REIMBURSEMENTS FOR MORE THAN A DOZEN OF THE MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROVIDERS AFTER THE ALLEGATIONS SURFACED. KING SAYS IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL IF THERE'S ANY EVIDENCE THE PROVIDERS COMMITTED CRIMINAL FRAUD.
