AUSTIN (KXAN) – Texas Health and Human Services is asking hundreds of school districts to return the money they received through a state Medicaid reimbursement program over a decade ago after the federal government found it was billed incorrectly.
The request comes after a 2017 federal audit reviewed expenditures claimed on behalf of Austin Independent School District and Dallas Independent School District from fiscal year 2011.
Inspectors said they found more than 238 instances where service costs, which the state’s Medicaid reimbursement program SHARS claimed on behalf of those school districts, were coded incorrectly.
