Common Questions

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.
