What is Medicare Fraud?

Before we dive into how our attorneys can help, let‘s define Medicare fraud. In simple terms, Medicare fraud is when someone knowingly submits false claims to obtain Medicare payments they’re not entitled to. This could involve:

Billing for services that were never provided
Falsifying a patient’s diagnosis to justify unnecessary tests or procedures
Giving or accepting kickbacks for patient referrals
Overcharging for services or supplies

The list goes on. The key is that there‘s an intent to deceive Medicare for financial gain. And the penalties are severe – hefty fines, loss of your medical license, even jail time.It’s a lot to wrap your head around, we know. But don‘t despair. With the right legal team, you can fight back against Medicare fraud charges and protect what matters most.

Legal Scenario: What Would You Do?

Scenario

You receive a letter from the Office of Inspector General stating that your medical practice is under investigation for allegedly billing Medicare for services not rendered and upcoding patient visits. Federal agents have already interviewed several of your staff members without your knowledge.

What should I do immediately to protect my medical license and avoid criminal charges for Medicare fraud?

Attorney's Answer

You need to retain a Medicare fraud defense attorney right away and instruct all staff to refrain from speaking with investigators without legal counsel present. Medicare fraud charges under 18 U.S.C. § 1347 carry penalties of up to 10 years in prison, or up to life imprisonment if patient harm resulted, so early intervention is critical. Your attorney can engage with the OIG and the Department of Justice on your behalf, potentially negotiating a civil resolution under the False Claims Act rather than facing criminal prosecution. We can also work to protect your medical license by coordinating with state licensing boards and exploring voluntary compliance measures that demonstrate good faith.
