Settlements
If you received Medicaid in New York illegally, your best bet is to make a deal with the HRA to settle the case for money. What does this mean? Well, Medicaid is not free, the government is paying for every recipient’s coverage policy. If there is an issue of an overpayment, the HRA will want this money back. If their claim is legitimate, they will try to get the money back either by you making voluntary payments of through criminal or civil court litigation.
If your case settles, you will receive a settlement agreement from the HRA that will guarantee that you won’t be prosecuted or sued.
If the case is not settled, it will go on to be resolved in courts.
We have handled hundreds of Medicaid fraud cases in New York City, securing administrative settlements in the vast majority of them.
Don’t assume that your case will be automatically settled. That will depend on many factors, including the facts of the case, the investigator assigned to the case, and who your lawyer is.
