Basic Function</b></div><div><br>
White-collar corporate financial fraud investigations and in-depth investigations of neglect in nursing homes and other care facilities are the primary focus of the Medicaid Fraud Control Section (MFCS). This section is responsible for protecting the welfare of the most vulnerable members of our Commonwealth and acts as a watchdog of the Medicaid program, which pays for their medical coverage. The MFCS primarily investigates and prosecutes two types of cases: Medicaid Fraud and Neglect of a Care-Dependent Person.</div><div></div><div><br>
Medicaid Fraud charges are brought against providers (as opposed to beneficiaries) who scam the program and cheat the taxpayers out of funds intended to provide healthcare to indigent Pennsylvanians. Examples of such providers include nursing homes, hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, ambulance and transportation companies, and home care workers. These cases are complex, white-collar criminal investigations, often involving millions of dollars, and MFCS attorneys will frequently utilize the Statewide Investigating Grand Jury to subpoena documents and question witnesses to dismantle elaborate criminal operations. The MFCS regularly combats the opioid epidemic by pursuing physicians who unnecessarily prescribe and then divert excessive amounts of controlled substances for profit.</div><div></div><div><br>
The MFCS also investigates and prosecutes caregivers who neglect, abuse, and/or exploit care-dependent people. For this position, trial skills are a must as neglect cases regularly involve charges of murder, manslaughter, and/or aggravated assault. Recent MFCS neglect cases include: a nurse and a mother who neglected a disabled child, causing severe malnutrition and multiple hospitalizations; two personal care home managers who recklessly failed to prevent sexual abuse in a dementia unit; a nursing home manager who understaffed his facility and endangered the residents; and a nurse who injured and killed residents by intentionally over-medicating them. Attorneys in this section must be comfortable working with doctors, medical examiners, nurses, and other health professionals to understand the medical aspects of the case and present expert testimony.</div><div></div><div><br>
In all cases handled by the MFCS, Deputy Attorneys General are actively involved in every step of the investigation and prosecution. Our attorneys collaborate with a team of Special Agents throughout the investigation. The case attorney advises on legal issues, drafts and approves search warrants, directs grand jury proceedings, conducts proffers, approves wiretaps, and ultimately makes charging decisions. If charges are filed, the attorney is responsible for legal proceedings from bail recommendations to trial and sentencing. In some investigations, our attorneys prosecute cases jointly with federal authorities through cross-designation with the United States Attorney&rsquo;s Office.</div><div></div><div><br>
Training and travel are regular opportunities within the MFCS. There may be occasions where this position will engage in outreach with our law enforcement and healthcare industry partners. As a member of the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units (NAMFCU), MFCS staff regularly partner with other Medicaid Fraud Control Units from across the country on nationwide investigations, settlements, and prosecutions. There are also national NAMFCU training opportunities that allow MFCS attorneys to master the skills needed in this specialized area of the law and network with staff in other state Medicaid Fraud Control Units.</div><div></div><div><br>
