Bureau of Fraud Investigations Interview Letters

In most New York Medicaid fraud cases you’ll know there is a problem when you receive a letter from the Human Resources Administration  that looks like this:

Don’t be fooled, this is not just an “interview”. This is what they used to call an “interrogation” although no one is going to yell or threaten you.  You will meet with two BFI investigators. You will be asked many questions and asked to provide many documents to the investigations.

What you don’t know is that by the time you receive this letter, the investigator has done a large about of homework and knows much more about you than you think.  The reason they still want to speak with you is because you will make admissions and self-incriminating statements that will be used against you if you’re prosecuted.

What most people don’t realize is that you don’t have to speak with the investigators at all. You have a right to be represented by a lawyer and unless you know what you’re doing, you should have a lawyer handle your Medicaid fraud case.

Here is why you should never speak with any investigators.
