What Are The Chances I’ll Be Arrested For Medicaid Fraud?

The worse case scenario of a Medicaid fraud investigation is criminal prosecution. When a decision is made to prosecute a recipient, the HRA will send the case over to the District Attorney’s Office and you will be prosecuted.

Clients always ask, “Will I be the prosecuted?” The answer is that it depends. There are a lot of variables in this equation. No lawyer can promise you a particular outcome, but based on my experience (and I’ve handled hundreds of Medicaid fraud cases in NYC), if your case is handled the right way, you will not be prosecuted.

Traditionally, Medicaid fraud cases that did go to criminal courts always involved underreported income and resources, as well as fake NYC addresses.

The best defense here is to prevent such extreme scenarios, though, and choosing the right lawyer to handle your Medicaid fraud case really does matter.
