How does the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit get cases?
While members of the public – including Medicaid recipients and whistleblowers – are our most important sources of cases, the Unit receives referrals from a variety of local, state, and federal agencies including the New York State Department of Health, the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General, the Office of the State Comptroller, and the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Additionally, the Unit frequently generates new cases as it investigates currently existing cases.
