A representative from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s office will speak to members of the Greater Buffalo Chapter of the American Red Cross on the topic of Medicaid Fraud Awareness. The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (“MFCU”), the largest unit within the Attorney General’s Criminal Division, is the centerpiece of New York’s effort to investigate, penalize, and prosecute individual and companies responsible for improper or fraudulent Medicaid billing schemes. In addition, the MFCU is the only law enforcement agency in the state specifically mandated to investigate and prosecute abuse and neglect of residents in nursing homes, hospitals, and other facilities that provide care to unrelated adults.



Thomas Schleif, special Assistant Attorney General of the Buffalo Regional Office, will discuss recent Medicaid fraud cases in Buffalo. The session will also provide information about how the Attorney General’s office identifies and investigates cases of nursing home abuse and other instances of Medicaid fraud.



This event will be open to the press.



The event will be held at: American Red Cross

786 Delaware Avenue

Buffalo, NY 14209
