Experienced and Proactive Billing Fraud Defense

If you even suspect you are being investigated for billing fraud, time is of the essence. Your strongest defense is to respond proactively to any allegations.

Record keeping and billing procedures for dental and healthcare professionals are growing increasingly complicated and are highly regulated. Coding and documentation for private and public insurance claims involves many steps and complex paperwork that must be meticulously completed. Many professionals simply fail to comply with this byzantine network of regulations.

Our attorneys can help you institute appropriate compliance and risk management policies to demonstrate good faith to investigators and prosecutors.

If you have already been charged, we will vigorously investigate all of the allegations against you, including whether the evidence was gathered properly. Since we are intimately familiar with the operations of dental and medical practices throughout Southeast Michigan, we can pinpoint important areas of consideration that can challenge the government's case or augment your defense.

We will negotiate with prosecutors for dismissal or the reduction of the charges. If an acceptable resolution cannot be reached, we are experienced trial lawyers who will represent you aggressively at trial and on any appeal.

We provide tough, effective billing fraud defense in cases alleging:

• HIPAA violations and other record keeping compliance issues
• Insurance billing irregularities
• Fraud against a county health plan, MiChild, or the Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program (MMAP)
• Medicare fraud
• Medicaid fraud
• Fraud directly on patients
