Editor’s note: This is the final installment in a four-part series on the federal False Claims Act and the New Jersey False Claims Act. The previous installments can be found here.
The passage of the New Jersey False Claims Act, or NJFCA, is an integral component of New Jersey’s statewide efforts to investigate and prosecute fraud involving state and federal funds. Since 2005, the U.S. attorney in New Jersey has been in the spotlight as a health care enforcement force to be reckoned with. At the same time, the creation of the New Jersey Office of Medicaid Inspector General offers the opportunity for a formidable centralized office for investigating Medicaid fraud and abuse and coordinating anti-fraud efforts. In May 2008, Gov. Jon Corzine appointed Mark Anderson, a veteran federal fraud prosecutor, to serve as the first New Jersey Medicaid Fraud inspector general. Anderson will have the ability to shape the focus and extent of Medicaid enforcement and draw upon his considerable private and public legal experience to make New Jersey a dynamic leader in fraud prosecutions. The NJFCA also provides funding for Medicaid enforcement efforts.
