Health care fraud cases can progress quickly, and therefore it is paramount to begin preparation as early as possible. The mere reference to health care fraud may result in licensing investigations, Medicare and Medicaid audits, and other regulatory and criminal investigations. Our attorneys not only defend those accused of health care fraud, but also prepare them for audits and investigations and work when possible to prevent those accusations in the first place.
We operate with a multi-disciplinary approach, working to address not just the acute issues, but the secondary – and not always obvious – issues as well. Our health care experience is augmented by the firm’s numerous related practice areas, providing clients with critical perspective and intelligence that enables them to plan for growth and change.
