Allegations of Fraud

In recent years, the federal government has put an increased emphasis on curbing Medicaid fraud. If you are being charged or investigated for this crime, it is important that you take the allegations seriously. New laws governing health care fraud provide for severe penalties. These laws include:

• Health care fraud 18 USC 1347 et seq.
• False statements 18 USC 1035
• Anti-kickback statute 42 USC 1320a-7b
• False Claims Act 31 USC 3729
• Physician Self-Referral Act 42 USC 1395
• Aggravated identity theft 18 USC 1028A 

Investigators may audit your finances, request office documents and do a computerized review of medical billing records. If you destroy or withhold data, whether out of fear or simple confusion, you could be charged with perjury or obstruction of justice, even if you are innocent of fraud.
