Senior Assistant General Counsel responded to 2021-FOIA-06349 by finding it was a duplicate of 2021-FOIA-06347 and responded that the separate Department of Health Care Finance is the agency possessing the records sought by 2021-FOIA-06347. See attachments.
Have you reached out to the separate Department of Health Care Finance?
I am available to discuss. Happy Holidays!
