An arrest and charge for healthcare fraud can threaten more than just your professional reputation; it can threaten your very future. Any healthcare provider, nursing home, pharmaceutical company or other individual or organization that receives Medicare, Medicaid or another government payment is at risk for an accusation of healthcare fraud.
It is important to understand the nature of healthcare fraud and why you need an attorney as early as possible. Healthcare fraud is a type of fraud committed by doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and others involved in healthcare. Doctors, hospitals, pharmacists and others may be charged with healthcare fraud if they engage in false billing, diversion of drugs, diversion of medical equipment and other illegal behaviors.
The penalties for healthcare fraud are serious. Penalties can include jail time, professional sanctions, the loss of professional licenses and other punishments. Further, reputations can be ruined, damaging personal and professional futures.
