Division of Criminal Justice
Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, Civil Enforcement Division
Forensic Accountant/Auditor – New York City & Pearl River (Rockland County)
Reference No. MFCU/CED_FAA_6318
Application Deadline is April 26, 2024
The Office of the New York State Attorney General’s (OAG) Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) seeks forensic
accountant/auditors (FAA) for its Civil Enforcement Division in Pearl River (Rockland County) or New York City. FAAs
support the Unit by working in partnership with its attorneys, detectives, data analysts, nurses, and legal support
analysts to conduct complex, long-term healthcare fraud investigations.
The Medicaid program provides health coverage to millions of New Yorkers, including low-income persons, children,
elderly adults, and people with developmental disabilities. MFCU is the nation’s premier law enforcement agency
charged with ensuring the financial integrity of New York State’s $100 billion Medicaid program by investigating
healthcare providers, such as pharmaceutical companies, doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes, who engage in
Medicaid billing schemes that cause harm to Medicaid recipients and the loss of millions of dollars to the State of New
York. MFCU also works to protect elderly and disabled New Yorkers by investigating reports of abuse and neglect in
nursing homes and other residential health care facilities in the state.
Possessing both civil and criminal enforcement powers, MFCU uses various state laws to bring civil actions and criminal
proceedings, including asset forfeiture actions. Many of the Unit’s investigations are conducted in coordination with
other federal, state, or local government and prosecutorial agencies, and have resulted in large-scale criminal
convictions and the recovery of millions of dollars of taxpayer money.
Several recent matters that highlight MFCU’s important work include the OAG’s report concerning neglect of nursing
home residents across New York State during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent filing of four major lawsuits
against nursing homes, including Centers Health Care, Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, The
Villages of Orleans Health and Rehabilitation Center, and Fulton Commons Care Center, Inc.
Additional significant cases include recoveries of $26.8 Million from drug manufacturer Mallinckrodt, nearly $7 Million
from home health agencies for cheating workers and Medicaid fraud, and $22.7 Million from a pharmaceutical company
for its kickback scheme.
