A Minnesota audit found $1.7 billion in improper Medicaid payments due to unclear policies, mostly in autism services, prompting new safeguards and payment delays.
A state-commissioned audit by Optum found that unclear or vague Medicaid policies may have led to $1.7 billion in improper payments across 14 high-risk services in Minnesota from January 2022 to October 2025, with $1 billion tied to early autism intervention programs.
The review of $9.4 billion in claims flagged over 90% of early intensive developmental behavioral intervention claims as inconsistent with rules, though no fraud was confirmed.
The state is implementing an AI-powered prepayment system and strengthening oversight, including requiring provider licensure, while temporarily delaying payments, disrupting care.
The findings are part of a $2.3 million contract to improve policy clarity and prevent future losses.
