National Assoication of Medicaid Fraud Control Units

The National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units (NAMFCU) was founded in 1978 to assist the state Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCUs) with fulfilling their responsibilities to investigate and prosecute Medicaid provider fraud and resident abuse and neglect. NAMFCU’s mission is to promote interstate cooperation and communication, to provide for the exchange of information, to assist with improving the quality of Medicaid fraud and resident abuse investigations and prosecutions by offering regular training programs and to educate the public about the activities of the Medicaid Fraud Control Units.

Membership is limited to federally certified MFCUs and each Unit is represented by its Director. Although membership is voluntary, all 50 federally certified MFCUs are members. One state, North Dakota does not have a MFCU nor do the Territories. Forty-four of the 50 MFCUs are located in the office of the state attorney general and six are located in other state agencies.
