12:11 p.m. update: The multimillion-dollar, no-bid state deals with Austin tech firm 21CT “skirted the limits” of the law and was a “policy fiasco” that illustrates the need for changes in the leadership structure at the Health and Human Services Commission, according to a report released by the governor’s office Monday.
A so-called strike force assembled by Gov. Greg Abbott conducted 50 interviews and found the Medicaid fraud deal with 21CT was pursued by state officials who “exercised judgment so poor that it put HHSC’s credibility at risk.”
