Trial reveals Medicaid reimbursement questions in Gemmill case
State officials testified that county domestic workers may be reimbursed if their roles were authorized and reasonable. The defense argued that Gemmill’s personal maids were legitimate and paid from county payrolls, while prosecutors contended the funds came from Medicaid and may exceed patient care limits. The judge prepared to define patient care while the Ballston Spa trial moved toward closing next week.
