Our work in federal criminal defense cases has enabled us to successfully represent clients in both criminal and civil matters.

Understanding Medicare and Medicaid Fraud

Medicare and Medicaid are federally funded programs that serve millions of Americans. Because of the size of the robust program, fraud investigations and prosecutions are significant. Often working together, the state and federal government often investigate the following:
Medicare Fraud: This occurs when healthcare providers or organizations submit false claims or engage in other dishonest practices to secure improper payments from Medicare. Medicare primarily assists individuals aged 65 or older and younger individuals with certain disabilities.
Medicaid Fraud: This involves intentionally misrepresenting or concealing information to obtain unauthorized benefits from Medicaid, a government program intended to provide healthcare for low-income individuals and families.

Both types of fraud can result in severe financial losses and legal consequences. The government aggressively investigates and prosecutes these cases to protect public funds.

Common Types of Medicare and Medicaid Fraud

Fraudulent activities in healthcare can take many forms, including:

1. Billing for Services Not Provided: Submitting claims for medical treatments or procedures that were never performed.
2. Upcoding: Charging for higher-cost services than those actually provided.
3. Performing Unnecessary Procedures: Conducting and billing for tests or treatments that are not medically required.
4. Kickbacks: Offering or accepting financial incentives for patient referrals, which violates anti-kickback statutes.
5. False Cost Reporting: Misrepresenting operating expenses to inflate reimbursements.
6. Misusing Provider Credentials
: Submitting claims under another provider’s name or credentials without their involvement.

Even unintentional mistakes can lead to significant legal challenges, making it essential to have skilled legal guidance.
