SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A new audit finds a multimillion-dollar coronavirus-testing contract the state of Utah signed with a startup company ended up costing significantly more per test because fewer people than expected took the tests. The audit released Wednesday found the agreement with Nomi Health was for a flat fee and didn’t have a way to scale back if the number of tests was lower than planned. The company has similar contracts in Iowa and Nebraska. Nomi said it also built out a testing infrastructure and secure tests when they were scarce. The audit was part of a wide-ranging review of state spending in its response to the pandemic.
