MediGold, the Medicare Advantage subsidiary of Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health, received an estimated $3.7 million in net Medicare Advantage overpayments in 2017 and 2018, according to an audit from HHS’ Office of Inspector General published Feb. 16.

The agency sampled 210 unique enrollee-years with high-risk diagnosis codes and found $469,907 in net overpayments. The OIG used the sample to reach the $3.7 million estimate.
