Michael Hyland, WNCN – In response to a recent audit that detailed millions of dollars in misspent money and potential risks to patients, the head of North Carolina’s Medicaid program said Tuesday there are “no excuses.” As CBS 17 reported last week, the State Auditor found millions of dollars were given to non-qualified health care providers and there was “an increased risk that providers whose actions posed a threat to patient safety were enrolled in Medicaid.”
