The Federal Government has been aggressively investigating and prosecuting what it considers fraud in the administration of the Medicare Program as well as private health insurance companies.    State authorities administer the Medicaid Program.  Many of these cases start with the service of Grand Jury or Administrative Subpoenas for records hoping to find irregularity in the paperwork prepared by physicians and other providers to the Medicare Program trying to get paid.  When any irregularities are uncovered, Federal Agents from either the Postal Inspector’s Office or the FBI will try to make a case.  They will cast a wide net over the employees of the physician’s office or clinic.  Long before an Indictment is returned and people are arrested, these Federal Agents may have already interviewed employees in the organization and prejudiced any opportunity to build a defense at trial when charges are brought.

If you are a physician, physician’s assistant, registered nurse, psychologist, or other professional, your defense to Medicare fraud allegations should start during the investigation stage.  Not only must you defend yourself, but frequently the privacy of your patients in the case of Subpoenas and Search Warrants.  Most allegations of Medicare fraud involve treatments that prosecutors allege were not  medically necessary, but were authorized by a prescription.  That prescription may have been obtained by a phony patient trained to provide a history that would guarantee the issuance of a prescription.  Long after the fact, the Government can come back and challenge the validity of the prescription, and make an accusation that the professional provider was complicet in the fraud.

Any accusation of Medicare or Health Care fraud that causes an Indictment to be issued can also threaten the professional licenses of physicians and other medical professionals.  These accusations can have an adverse affect on a physician or other medical professional’s ability to continue to practice.  Legal representation is needed at the earliest possible stage.
