| Created in 1998 by an Act of
the Legislature, the Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor, located
in the Division of Criminal Justice, is headed by an Insurance Fraud
Prosecutor, appointed by the Governor, approved by the Senate and
under the direction and supervision of the Attorney General.
OIFP was created to provide for a more effective investigation and
prosecution of fraud, and is responsible for conducting both civil
and criminal investigations of allegations of insurance fraud.
On the criminal side, OIFP houses both an Insurance Fraud Unit and
a Medicaid Fraud Unit, each staffed by deputy attorneys general and
State investigators. On the civil side, OIFP is staffed by civil
investigators, and litigation is handled by the Division of Law.
