Whistleblowers Allege NC Officials Falsified Medicaid Tech Funding Bids

Former state employees serving as whistleblowers brought the claims, which implicate both state Medicaid leadership and the federal approval process. The lawsuit was previously dismissed but the whistleblowers may seek to revive it. The case raises questions about oversight of federal matching funds for state Medicaid IT modernization projects.
