Billion in Medicaid waste found by HEW in 1976
Federal and state officials say up to $1 billion per year is wasted on ineligible Medicaid payments. Secretary Califano cited a $229 million chunk from April to September 1976 and noted 47,000 questionable claims from 250 million reviewed. The program expansion prompted the Project Integrity probe and state investigations of doctors and pharmacists.
