Defending Doctors, Clinic Owners and Individuals

Many of the people we represent are decent professionals and business people who are attempting to comply with Medicare’s antiquated reimbursement system. However, what you see as a billing error or a justifiable billing practice may be viewed as fraud to a government investigator.

Some of the most common Medicaid and Medicare fraud charges involve:

  • Infusion therapy for AIDS patients
  • Prescriptions for compounded medicines containing special drug formulations for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Prosthetics, wheelchairs and other durable medical equipment that is not seen as medically necessary

Speak To Your Lawyer — and No One Else

Even if you think your Medicare and Medicaid billings are justifiable, trying to explain yourself to government investigators can lead to misunderstandings. Anything you say to an investigator can be used as evidence against you. Even a conversation you have with a friend, coworker or family member can come back to haunt you. The only person with whom you can have a protected conversation is your lawyer.
