The for-profit owner of the hospital, investment group MHA, agreed to submit the yearly audits when it purchased Meadowlands Hospital in 2010.
Meadowlands Hospital owes the state $54,000 — $6,000 for each month the audit is missing, according to the report.
The New Jersey Department of Health is moving to seize $40,000 from Meadowlands Hospital’s Medicaid reimbursements to satisfy the debt.
This isn’t the first time the 230-bed Meadowlands Hospital has been fined over the audit reports. Since 2012, the state has levied more than $180,000 in fines against the hospital, according to the report.
