Summary

Ohio Medicaid published its formal response to an Ohio Auditor of State report alleging potential concurrent Medicaid enrollment across multiple states, disputing the audit's $209 million estimated fiscal impact figure and challenging the methodology. ODM contends the auditor failed to account for federal COVID-19 public health emergency continuous enrollment requirements that prohibited disenrollment during most of the 48-month audit period, and that the auditor refused to provide the underlying sample data necessary for ODM to validate findings. ODM separately notes it reduced its eligibility error rate from 43.9% in 2019 to 8.23% in reporting year 2022.
