Medicaid Fraud Unit Honored with Accreditation
The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) has earned formal accreditation from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA), announced James Uthmeier.
The special fraud team, part of the Florida Attorney General’s Office, was found to have no deficiencies in its operations and procedures after on-site assessments.
“Accreditation is the gold standard in law enforcement,” said Uthmeier. “For the first time since its founding in 1994, our Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has earned CFA accreditation — and they did it without a single deficiency.
The accreditation was awarded at the CFA’s Fall Conference on Sanibel Island, marking a significant milestone in the unit’s efforts to combat Medicaid fraud in the state.
