MFCU investigates and prosecutes fraud by providers of medical services, products, and drugs that affect Medicaid, including cases of patient abuse and neglect. It works to lower medical and drug costs for all Utah consumers and employers by challenging fraudulent practices that result in over-payments to Medicaid. Cases can range from participating in national lawsuits against drug companies that conspire to limit competition for generic drugs, to local prosecutions of doctors and facilities that charge Medicaid for services that were not actually provided to the patient.
