Healthcare Regulatory Oversight: Protecting Your Business

Healthcare regulatory oversight has become increasingly prevalent in the past few years since the Affordable Care Act was fully implemented. With regular audits from the Department for Human and Health Services, it’s crucial for healthcare providers to conduct their own internal self-audits to ensure the accuracy and currency of their billing codes and procedures. At Spodek Law Group, our experienced attorneys, led by Todd Spodek, understand the importance of complying with healthcare regulations and can help you defend your business when facing audits and investigations.

Understanding the Legal Landscape

Government officials have recognized the need for regular audits within healthcare provider systems to detect and address potential billing problems. While these audits are primarily civil legal situations, they can escalate to criminal charges if intent to defraud is found. The False Claims Act provides relators with the legal standing to sue and share a percentage of any confiscated or returned proceeds. In the most egregious cases, criminal charges can result in significant fines and even jail time.

Defending Your Business

Facing a healthcare audit can be daunting, but our attorneys can evaluate any evidence and build a case for human error at worst. Our team can also help you understand the complex regulatory landscape and provide positive documentation that supports any errors as unintentional. Our approach to healthcare representation is tailored to each client’s unique needs, unlike large firms that use a one-size-fits-all approach. Our former prosecutor attorneys understand what regulatory agencies must find to justify criminal charges and can protect your business’s sustainability and your personal future.

How Self-Auditing Can Help

Regular billing system checks are crucial to detecting errors and ensuring compliance with regulations. At Spodek Law Group, we can help you conduct internal self-audits to minimize the risk of potential billing problems. If the government does come calling, having a reputable legal team on your side can be vital in limiting financial damage and potentially passing the audit.

Our Success Stories

At Spodek Law Group, we have a proven track record of success in defending healthcare providers facing regulatory oversight. Our experienced attorneys have helped numerous clients navigate the complex regulatory landscape and minimize the financial damage that can result from audits and investigations.
One recent success story involved a small private practice facing a civil audit for potential billing errors. Our attorneys conducted an internal self-audit and were able to demonstrate that the errors were unintentional and the result of a communication breakdown between the provider and regulatory agencies. We were able to negotiate a settlement that resulted in a minimal financial penalty and no criminal charges.

In another case, we represented a large healthcare provider facing a formal audit from the government. Our attorneys conducted a thorough review of the provider’s billing practices and were able to demonstrate that the billing codes at issue were the result of a new, valid medical procedure. We successfully defended the provider against the audit and helped them avoid any financial penalties or criminal charges.
