Medicaid Billing Watch: New federal Medicaid Provider Spending data show sharp local swings in North Dakota claims—West Fargo’s “Temporary Codes” hit $9,623 in 2024 (+33.1%), while Grand Forks logged $3,051 (+37.9%) and Devils Lake $5,644 (+394.2%). Dental & Care Categories: Cavalier dental services rose to $2,948 (+5.3%), Larimore dental to $4,946 (+23.5%), and Minot orthotic procedures jumped to $1,855 (+130.4%). Administrative Costs: Fargo’s “Administrative, Miscellaneous and Investigational” claims surged to $40,888 in 2024 (from $176 in 2023). Drug Policy & Public Health: A letter argues North Dakota’s kratom ban should be weighed alongside concerns about flavored vapes targeting youth.

Local Safety: The Highway Patrol identified a woman killed in a fiery Fargo crash; charges against the driver are under investigation.
