Audit: Developmental disabilities agency lost $4.1M over two years

The agency overseeing treatment for Marylanders with developmental disabilities lost $4.1 million in federal money over two years, according to an audit by the General Assembly.

“Available federal funds … were not claimed during calendar years 2004 and 2005 because the service rates used to request federal reimbursement had not been increased to correspond with the rates paid to providers,” states the report?s introduction by auditor Bruce A. Myers.
