Florida Grand Jury Finds $10M from Centene Medicaid Settlement Misappropriated
A Florida state grand jury determined that $10 million from a Centene Medicaid settlement was misappropriated under the DeSantis administration, according to a sealed January 28 document obtained by CBS News Miami. The grand jury found insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges. The settlement originated from claims against Centene related to its Florida Medicaid managed care operations. The finding raises questions about state oversight of Medicaid settlement funds and their designated use.
The finding highlights accountability risks in state handling of Medicaid managed care settlement proceeds and may prompt enhanced scrutiny of settlement fund disbursement across states.
