About This Archive

Healthcare Fraud Research Desk

Medical fraud takes many forms — from billing for services never rendered to paying kickbacks for patient referrals. When healthcare providers put profits above patient care, the law provides a path to accountability.

Our network spans all 50 states, with attorneys who understand both the medicine and the law. False Claims Act cases, Anti-Kickback Statute violations, and Medicare/Medicaid fraud investigations require specialized expertise that general practitioners simply do not have.

If you suspect healthcare fraud — whether as a patient, employee, or whistleblower — you have legal rights. The first step is a free, confidential consultation. Contact us today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Fraud

Every case is different. These answers provide a starting point. Contact us for a free, confidential consultation.

What should I do if I am under investigation for healthcare fraud?
Do not speak with investigators without an attorney present. Exercise your right to remain silent and contact a federal defense lawyer immediately. Early intervention gives you the strongest chance of avoiding an indictment.
What are the penalties for federal healthcare fraud?
Penalties vary by statute but can include 10 to 20 years in federal prison per count, fines up to $250,000 or twice the alleged loss, mandatory exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid, and forfeiture of assets.
Can a defense attorney help before charges are filed?
Yes. An experienced federal defense attorney can engage with prosecutors pre-indictment, present exculpatory evidence, challenge search warrants, and in many cases persuade the government to decline prosecution.
Will I lose my medical license if charged with healthcare fraud?
Not automatically. A federal charge does not mean automatic license revocation. However, a conviction will almost certainly trigger license review. Early defense is critical.
How long do federal healthcare fraud investigations last?
Federal healthcare fraud investigations typically last 12 to 24 months. Having counsel involved from the earliest sign of an investigation can dramatically affect the outcome.
