The last two of 15 mental health nonprofit providers under investigation for possible Medicaid fraud have been cleared by New Mexico's top prosecutor.
Attorney General Hector Balderas is sending a letter to state lawmakers Tuesday, informing them of the outcome of his investigation. He says no patterns of fraud were uncovered.
Gov. Susana Martinez's administration froze payments to the providers after a 2013 audit alleged they mishandled $36 million in Medicaid funding.
Balderas says separate investigations found there was about $1.16 million in overbilling but no evidence of fraud.
He says it's now up to the state Human Services Department to resolve what he called a regrettable situation and ensure that New Mexicans get the care they need.
The agency said last week it was working to make sure there would be no gaps in service.
