The New York State Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is dedicated exclusively to the investigation and prosecution of Health Care Crime in New York State.

The Unit's prime responsibility is to monitor fraud arising out of the billions of dollars spent on Medicaid in New York State each year. The unit prosecutes cases of patient abuse in nursing homes, fraudulent billing practices by physicians, pharmacists, and/or any other health care providers and vendors using Medicaid dollars.

The unit has seven regional offices in Albany, Buffalo, Long Island, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, and Westchester-Rockland.
