The Austin American-Statesnian reported Thursday that investiga tors for the attorney general’s Medi caid Fraud Control Unit found that some companies operating commu nity homes have engaged in illegal “double dipping” by collecting state and Medicaid money to provide the same services to retarded people.

At issue is the MHMR Depart ment’s multimillion-dollar program that provides $20,294 a year for the care of retarded state school resi dents who move into community homes. By the end of this fiscal year, the program will have spent about $143 million since its inception. It will be serving an estimated 2,224 retarded people.
