Federal Defense Attorneys For Health Care Providers And Consumers
Were you, a health care provider, accused of revising your health care delivery to receive kickbacks from manufacturers? Do federal law enforcement agents claim that you billed for services that you did not provide? Did you exaggerate or falsify your patients’ conditions so that you would receive higher fees for your health care services?
All of these are examples of federal health care fraud. A conviction can be serious enough to cause your health care practice to close if you are a provider. If you are a consumer of health care services, you might end up in jail if convicted.

Defense strategies vary greatly from one case to another, possibly including:
