Nebraska’s Department of Health and Human Services discovered a billing problem that could cost the state up to 32-million dollars.
Developmental Disabilities Director Courtney Miller says the issue stems from changes made two years ago in how providers are paid for serving residents with developmental disabilities.

Miller says the department does not yet know the exact amount of claims it has to reimburse.

The changes put Nebraska at odds with federal Medicaid regulations.
