What are MFCU minimal staffing levels?
A Unit is intended to operate using a “strike force” concept of investigators, auditors and attorneys working together full-time to develop Medicaid fraud investigations and prosecutions. The staff of the Unit must include attorneys experienced in the investigation and prosecution of civil fraud or criminal cases, auditors capable of supervising the review of financial records, and investigators with substantial experience in commercial or financial investigations. If a Unit lacks direct prosecutorial authority, it must have a formalized procedure in place for referring cases to the appropriate prosecutorial authority.
