: Virginia Qui Tam LawVirginia Medicaid Fraud Control Unit Recieves National Award; more than $650 million dollars recovered in FY 2007.
By Zachary A. Kitts
Yesterday, the Virginia Office of the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) received the "Office of the Inspector General's State Fraud Award." To view the press release, click here.
On a related note, the Virginia Office of the Attorney General announced recently its plans to continue cutting its reliance on General Fund revenues. In the 2008 Executive Budget Document, the OAG confirmed that by utilizing the monies recovered via the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the OAG could continue to slash its budget.
Think about this--the false claims against Virginia Medicaid that the MFCU prosecuted to the tune of $650 million last year are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to overall fraud on the Commonwealth. The Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act could produce similar returns if it was used in other areas the same way it is used to fight fraudulent Medicare claims.
If a new Attorney General were to pursue all false claims with the same dedication as Virginia's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, it would change the Commonwealth's Budget altogether--and John Brownlee is just the man for the job.
