Health Care Law
Our attorneys have represented physicians, nurses, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, chiropractors, medical clinics, managers and management companies in state and federal grand jury investigations and prosecutions. Allegations included No-fault, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, such as billing for services not rendered, up-coding, performing unnecessary services and kickback violations.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, our firm has frequently negotiated resolutions that avoided the filing of criminal charges, and minimized disruption to our clients' practices and impact on their licenses.

Medical Record Audits
Private insurance companies, Medicare, and HMOs -- have significantly increased their scrutiny of medical providers, leading to a growing number of medical records audits. These audits begin with what appears to be an innocuous request for a random sample of patient records, or it may identify specific diagnostic or procedure codes. Our team has the experience to assist clients in responding to such requests with the care necessary to help avoid significant problems, and reimbursement demands that can result.
