Health Care Fraud

Michigan Health Care Fraud Defense Lawyers

Health care fraud charges are serious matters. Penalties can include prison, enormous fines, Medicare and Medicaid delisting and healthcare license revocations. If you have been charged, or if you know or suspect that a government agency or a private insurer wants to investigate your facility, we encourage you to enlist an attorney before you talk to anyone to ensure that your rights are protected.

If you have been charged with healthcare fraud, the law firm of Gurewitz and Raben can help. Our lawyers can guide you through the rules, regulations, and compliance issues involved in your case. We have more than 50 years of combined experience standing up for the rights of people accused of health care fraud and other crimes. Our experience can work for you.

We are available to defend all health care providers and related businesses, including hospitals, providers of durable medical equipment, doctors, nursing homes, dentists, chiropractors, labs, physical therapy providers, pharmacists, and even patients who have been charged with health care fraud.

Types of health care fraud allegations include:

  • False billing for services not provided
  • Inflated billing of medical services
  • Medicaid fraud and Medicare fraud
  • Kickbacks of illegal payments for exclusive right of services or contracts
  • Performing medically unnecessary services in order to collect insurance money
  • Hidden charges
  • Manipulation of billing codes
  • “Upcoding” on Medicare and Medicaid claim forms
  • Prescribing unnecessary controlled substances (e.g., codeine)

Keep in mind that state and federal authorities are not the only ones who investigate health care and doctor fraud. Insurance companies can also conduct their own audits, checking doctor files and billing codes to look for billing malpractice or other fraudulent activity. Regardless of the type of charge or investigation, we can help. We are available to defend the rights of people throughout Southeast Michigan, including Detroit, Livonia, Warren, Ann Arbor, and Westland.
