   Massachusetts health officials over-billed Medicaid for almost   
   $106 million by filing claims from as far back as 1988 as   
   current expenses.   
      
   An HHS inspector general’s report found the state’s health   
   department had improperly adjusted nearly half of the 5 million   
   claims auditors sampled between 2008 and 2010.   
      
   The federal government determines what percentage of Medicaid   
   costs it will cover for each state by measuring its per capita   
   income relative to other states.   
      
   While HHS reimbursed 50% of Massachusetts’ Medicaid costs in   
   1988, its share of the program had risen to 61.5% by 2010.
