MFCU/OAG

background investigation before hire, including criminal-history, employment, education, credit and financial history, reputation, and social media review. MFCU will conduct initial interviews and submit a candidate to

USAO-EDTX

for approval to proceed before initiating the background investigation. After a candidate successfully completes the MFCU background investigation, the candidate will be eligible to proceed to hire. The federal background investigation, security screening, credentialing, and authorization required by USAO-EDTX or DOJ to serve as a Special Assistant United States Attorney (SAUSA) will occur after hire. The position ultimately requires the employee to obtain and maintain a Top Secret federal security clearance.

This posting is for an Assistant Attorney General in the Texas Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) who is intended to be appointed or cross-designated as a SAUSA and detailed to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Texas (USAO-EDTX), Plano, TX office, to serve as a federal health care fraud trial attorney/prosecutor. In practical terms, the position will function as a federal health care fraud prosecutor and perform substantially similar litigation duties to AUSAs handling assigned health care fraud matters, subject to

USAO-EDTX

supervision and MFCU grant requirements. The position will support the investigation and prosecution of health care fraud matters in the Eastern District of Texas involving fraud against the Texas Medicaid Program and federal health care programs, including provider fraud schemes, kickbacks, false claims, and related criminal matters. All assigned matters must possess a Texas Medicaid nexus.

This position will direct, conduct, and monitor investigations; advise investigators; prepare pleadings and court filings; litigate motions; negotiate dispositions; and prepare for and conduct trials. Matters may originate from MFCU, USAO-EDTX, HHS-OIG, the FBI, or other federal investigative partners, provided they possess a Texas Medicaid nexus. Upon accepting an offer, applicants must be willing and able to commit to a three-year

USAO-EDTX SAUSA

assignment. This position will be detailed to the

USAO-EDTX

Plano office, with the

DFW MFCU

regional office in Grand Prairie serving as the reporting MFCU office. Duties may include case-related travel to other locations within the Eastern District of Texas as operational and litigation needs require.

Generally, as a SAUSA assigned to USAO-EDTX, the position

• Handles the development and management of health care fraud prosecutions, including grand jury practice, advising federal agents, drafting pleadings, litigating motions, conducting hearings, negotiating case resolutions, and trying criminal cases to verdict in U.S. District Court
• Evaluates evidence, recommends charging decisions, and proposes dispositions in assigned cases; and
• Coordinates with

USAO-EDTX

supervisory personnel, federal agents, and state/federal investigative partners on case strategy, legal issues, litigation priorities, and efficient prosecution of matters with a Texas Medicaid nexus.

The position will be supervised by the Deputy Chief of Prosecutions in MFCU¿s Austin headquarters for OAG employment and non-federal issues. While performing SAUSA duties, the position will be supervised day-to-day by

USAO-EDTX

on litigation matters and federal prosecutorial work. The position is responsible for keeping MFCU investigative partners informed of significant case developments and court activity necessary for MFCU coordination and reporting. In addition to required USAO-EDTX or DOJ training, MFCU will provide health care fraud training opportunities, including MFCU's annual statewide training conference and national training opportunities, based on scheduling and resource availability.

As a condition of MFCU's federal grant funding, this position must engage only in health care fraud investigation and prosecution activities with a Texas Medicaid nexus.
