Audit Focuses On UHIP Problems

(Providence, RI)--Rhode Island's troubled public assistance computer system, known as UHIP, is being focused on in a new audit.The results of the review from state Auditor General Dennis Hoyle were shared at a House Oversight Committee hearing last night.The state apparently made about eleven-and-a-half-million dollars in Medicaid payments for dead people in the previous fiscal year and failed to remove thousands of names from children's health insurance after they turned nineteen.Hoyle's report says UHIP's 2016 implementation has resulted in challenges in determining and-or re-determining eligibility for the programs it administers, resulting in application backlogs and other problems.
