New Medicaid Inspector General in New York State

The NY Post today is reporting that Jim Cox has been appointed the new Medicaid Inspector General.


I’ve known Jim Cox for a long time and I’m confident Jim has the skills and ability to properly carry out the functions of the Medicaid Inspector General’s Office. I’m also sure if Jim is asked to compromise his integrity he will resign before doing so. I had concerns about why the prior Medicaid Inspector General was fired (http://davehancox.blogspo​t.com/2011/06/ny-medicaid-​fraud-inspector-general.ht​ml), but Jim Cox’s appointment is a very positive development. I look forward to his service to the State of New York.


Governor Cuomo made a good appointment in Jim. Congratulations!
