(Springfield, IL) — Illinois is still having trouble getting its Medicaid bills right. A new audit shows the state made 71 million-dollars in payments to hospitals, doctors, or pharmacies without checking to see if the patients were still covered first. The same audit said Illinois still hasn’t collected 75 million in past overpayments. Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino says some of those payments are nearly five years old.
