Raising a Credible Defense
Medical providers can easily make mistakes or misinterpret health plan providers' complicated billing procedures. Unscrupulous staff may be the perpetrators of fraud without a physician's knowledge. Patients themselves cook up conspiracies that implicate treating physicians. We explore all viable defense strategies to take your case to trial, convince prosecutors to drop charges, or minimize the criminal, forfeiture, civil and professional consequences of a health care fraud indictment.
Renowned trial lawyers Charles Lembcke and Karen Lippes routinely handle complex fraud cases involving extensive discovery and evidence. They have the legal acumen and access to medical experts and forensic accountants to challenge the government's allegations.
