The largest health care fraud case that DOJ has ever prosecuted

US v. S.I. — $30 Million telemedicine/DME kickback scheme

HHS-OIG investigated our client for Healthcare Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft based on the client’s allegedly participating in a “telemedicine” kickback scheme that defrauded Medicare of approximately $30 million in reimbursements for not-medically-necessary durable medical equipment and genetic testing. After our having conducted our own investigation into the matter and making several presentations to the investigating agents and prosecutors, we convinced the Government not to prosecute our client.

$100 Million Healthcare Fraud Case: US v. A.C.

HHS-OIG and FBI investigated our client, the former director of a national laboratory, for Healthcare Fraud and Money Laundering based on their alleged participation in a scheme to defraud Medicare of approximately $100 million in reimbursements for not-medically-necessary molecular testing and violating the federal anti-kickback statute. After conducting our own investigation into the matter and presenting the evidence to the investigating agents and prosecutors, we convinced the Government not to prosecute.

United States v. R.M., et al.

The FBI and the HHS-OIG investigated our client for Health Care Fraud based on the client’s submitting over $7 million in alleged false claims to Medicare. The Government indicted our client on Conspiracy to commit Health Care Fraud, Health Care Fraud, Aggravated Identity Theft, and False Statements. On the first day of trial, after jury selection, we convinced the Government to agree to our client’s pleading guilty to a Class B misdemeanor, with a guaranteed sentence of probation. The other defendants pled guilty to various felonies and received sentences to terms of imprisonment of up to 133 months and restitution. The District Court sentenced our client to three years of probation, with no restitution obligation.

PROUD MEMBERS OF

Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare Fraud Defense

What Is Considered Healthcare Fraud?

Healthcare fraud can involve allegations such as improper billing, upcoding, unbundling services, kickbacks, false claims, or misrepresentations to Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurers. In many cases, providers are investigated even when errors were unintentional.

Can I Be Charged Before an Audit or Investigation Is Finished?

Yes. Federal investigations often begin long before formal charges are filed. Audits, subpoenas, or contact from federal agents may indicate a criminal investigation is already underway. Early legal representation is critical.

Should I Hire a Lawyer If I’m Only Under Investigation?

Absolutely. Many healthcare fraud cases are built during the investigation phase. Speaking to investigators without counsel can significantly increase your risk. A defense attorney can protect your rights and guide how — or if — you respond.

What Penalties Can Healthcare Fraud Carry?

Penalties may include substantial fines, asset forfeiture, exclusion from federal healthcare programs, and prison time. The severity depends on the allegations, amounts involved, and whether the government claims intent.

What Should I Do If Federal Agents Contact Me?

Do not answer questions or provide documents without speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to remain silent and to have legal counsel present. Early missteps can be difficult to undo later.

Who Do You Represent in Healthcare Fraud Cases?

We represent doctors, nurses, medical practices, clinics, billing companies, healthcare executives, and other professionals facing federal healthcare fraud allegations or investigations.

Is My Consultation Confidential?

Yes. All consultations are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege. Speaking with a lawyer does not obligate you to move forward — but it can help you understand your options.
