NY attorney Norman Spencer talks on the possibility of a medicaid fraud investigation becoming a civil litigation.
Civil Litigation
Another possible outcome of Medicaid fraud investigations is civil litigation. This means that the case will be forwarded to a third party collection law firm that will threaten to file a lawsuit against you.
There are several reasons you don’t want your case to end up in civil court:
- If you’re found liable, the judge will enter a judgment against you
- Your bank accounts will be frozen
- Your wages could be garnished
- The City could place a lien against your property
- Your credit will be affected
