The investigation by the news organizations, called Birth & Betrayal, detailed how NICA had amassed nearly $1.5 billion in assets while administrators often refused requests large and small - for medication, medical equipment, wheelchairs, therapy and in-home nursing for children with breathing tubes. In exchange for that loss, parents were promised “medically necessary” and “reasonable” medical care for the life of their children.
