How We Defend Providers

Billing Disputes Are Not Crimes

Healthcare fraud prosecutions – 18 U.S.C. § 1347, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and the False Claims Act – frequently criminalize what is really a coding disagreement, a compliance failure, or a medical judgment call. The government’s case depends on proving you intended to defraud, not merely that a claim was later disallowed.

We defend audits, civil investigative demands, and criminal investigations for providers across Florida and Michigan – engaging billing experts, challenging extrapolated loss figures, and separating clinical judgment from criminal intent before charging decisions are made.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A CID signals a False Claims Act investigation, which is civil – but parallel criminal referrals are common, and how you respond can determine which track your case takes. Involve counsel before responding.

Up to ten years per count (twenty if serious injury results), mandatory restitution, and exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid – often the true business death penalty. We defend against all of it, including the license consequences.
