About the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units
Founded in 1978, the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units (NAMFCU) represents Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCUs) across the country. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have Medicaid Fraud Control Units. All but five are located in the state’s Office of the Attorney General.
NAMFCU has enabled MFCUs to deter some of the largest and most insidious health care provider frauds, recover program dollars, punish corrupt practitioners, and prosecute those who abuse or neglect nursing home residents. Learn more about NAMFCU's history.
