When a medical practice is placed under the microscope by insurance auditors, the Office of Professional Medical Conduct, or Medicaid or Medicare investigators, it’s all to common for minor mistakes to be blown up into allegations of serious misconduct.
Physicians charged with health care fraud face a variety of potential penalties, including the risk of federal prosecution for billing irregularities with Medicare and other problems.
Extreme cases can include significant jail time for a practitioner convicted of extensive fraud; more commonly, the penalties are monetary and involve professional sanction or license termination.
Physicians who are under investigation for fraud or who have been charged should call us for a consultation right away.
