Health Care Fraud & Abuse
Summary
Our health care team provides experienced counsel where allegations of health care fraud and abuse have been brought against individual and institutional health care providers. Over the last five years, at both the federal and state level, the government has created specialized teams of attorneys to pursue violations of Stark law and anti-kickback laws. We have dedicated, focused counsel to assist health care providers during an investigation and to defend if charges, either civil or criminal, are brought. We have assisted hospitals, pharmacies, clinical laboratories, and individual physicians where investigations have resulted from whistleblower suits or direct action by state or federal attorneys using the False Claims Act as a basis for charges.
