The contractor will identify suspicious trends on claims for nearly 2 million Medicaid patients from 60,000 Medicaid providers in the state.

North Carolina is under increasing pressure to secure more savings as revenues stagnate and Medicaid spending is expected to be $250 million over budget this year.
