Utahs state audit reveals misuse of $450 million from a federal nursing home program, with funds diverted to hospitals, admin costs, and owner paychecks. The Skilled Nursing Facility Upper Payment Limit program, intended to bridge Medicaid-Medicare gaps, saw three hospitals control most licenses and funds. Auditor Tina Cannon calls for stricter spending rules and transparency, while hospitals argue compliance and warn of potential program collapse. Utahs Health Department supports the audit and plans to improve transparency.
