The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office announced yesterday it is teaming up with city and federal authorities to go after doctors, pharmacists and other health care providers who commit Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

The announcement came at a press conference where the office disclosed charges against a Brooklyn doctor and other defendants for allegedly overcharging Medicaid and Medicare some $500,000. District Attorney Charles Hynes described the effort as a "first of its kind" collaboration that will combine efforts of his office, city agencies, the Eastern District U.S. Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
