Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Notification
The Office of Mental Health (OMH) acts under the direction of the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) 
to identify inappropriate Medicaid claims and to maintain Medicaid program integrity.
The OMIG is an independent entity within the New York State Department of Health. Its goal is to improve and preserve the integrity of the Medicaid program by conducting and coordinating fraud, waste and abuse control activities for all State agencies responsible for services funded by Medicaid.
OMH provides support as follows:
- Issues Administrative Memoranda that specify the billing standards and service documentation requirements for each Medicaid service and program operated or certified by OMH.
- Regularly inspects providers to determine compliance with program standards and requirements.
- Requires and monitors corrective actions as appropriate.
