Funds sent in error to state in 2004

New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney signed an agreement Friday for the State of New Hampshire to repay $35 million in federal Medicaid funds plus interest that were sent in error to the state in 2004. The total payment to the federal government will be $35.8 million dollars. The money went to hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low income or uninsured.
