The state's health insurance program for poor people paid about $85 million health care for people who don't live in Massachusetts, the state auditor found.
The estimate is for so-called "capitation payments" that MassHealth, which includes the state's Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program, made during a 45-month period between January 1, 2018 and September 30, 2021, according to a report issued by the office of Massachusetts state auditor Diana DiZoglio.
