BP: Leech Lake Band: State agency told tribal officials Medicaid billing was correct

ST. PAUL — The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe has produced email correspondence that the band says proves the state of Minnesota should be on the hook for more than $13 million in potential overbilling of federal drug-treatment funds.

According to the American Indian band and the email chain it produced Wednesday, Aug. 7, officials with the Minnesota Department of Human Services told officials with the band that the way the band was billing was correct and should continue, even though, apparently, it wasn’t correct.
