The New Mexico Attorney General's Office says there doesn't appear to be any pattern of fraud by 10 nonprofits that provided behavioral health services to needy New Mexicans.
Attorney Hector Balderas announced the findings in a letter delivered Monday to state lawmakers.
Balderas said some regulatory violations were uncovered. Those are being forwarded to the Human Services Department for possible administrative action.
Balderas' office is continuing to review two remaining providers. His office previously found no fraud but overpayment issues with three others.
The initial audit that raised allegations of fraud and abuse in 2013 alleged $36 million in state Medicaid funding was mishandled by the providers. That prompted Republican Gov. Susana Martinez's administration to freeze Medicaid payments to the providers while the attorney general's office launched an inquiry.
