NAMFCU Holds Training Conference in Denver Conference
NAMFCU is the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units ("MFCUs"). Recently NAMFCU held its annual "Practical Skills" Conference in Denver, Colorado.
The Conference, for state Attorneys General and their assistants and staff involved in state Medicaid anti-fraud enforcement and collection activities provided the following information, in addition to training sessions, to the attendees:
1. A report on the rising level of national cooperation and information, expertise, and skill sharing among MFCU units, and with the Department of Justice.
2. A report on the level of sophistication and training that assistant AGs in all the state MFCU units are receiving at a national level.
3. A report on the involvement of non-Qui Tam States (those without Qui-Tam statutes--about 27) in the fight against health care fraud. They are investing significant investigatory resources and working with relators' counsel with respect to cases that don't even name those states.
