Medicaid was shortchanged $1B due to misclassified drugs: IG

Federal taxpayers may have forfeited at least $1 billion because a slate of drugs were misclassified under Medicaid’s rebate program, the Health and Human Services’ chief watchdog said Wednesday.

HHS’ inspector general said the vast majority of the tens of thousands of drugs covered by the rebate program are classified properly — for example, as a brand-name or generic, or “innovator” drug versus non-innovator.

    Mainly is about people that directly or indirectly work for this entities without ethics and moral values and take advantage of any opportunity to milk the cow disregarding the true reason for what this entity was created for.
