A computer program to quick fix the Medicaid Fix

22 August, 2005

The Medicaid reform project will take off soon to hinder any discrepancies which misuse the Medicaid drug prescription system. It includes a computer program which tracks the system dollor 110.5 million expenses. Through the new program officers will exactly know how each dollar is spend to information about the person who first receives treatment under the program. In a program misuse incident, one person obtained eight prescriptions for the same drug from different doctors, all through Medicaid at the tax payer’s expense.

The new computer program is the mind work of Salient Corp. Officials estimate that a good $2milion to $5 million could be saved once the program comes into use in Chemung County. The new computer program is a slightly modified version of programs used by businesses to monitor their services and spending.
