Pennsylvania Medicaid Fraud Lawyers
Combating Medicare and Medicaid fraud is a favorite topic of politicians looking for ways to balance the budget. Anyone involved in an erroneous or falsified Medicare or Medicaid claim may be the target of a government investigation into fraud or find themselves charged with Medicare/Medicaid fraud:
- A doctor who conducts an allegedly unnecessary surgery
- An accountant or office administrator who "conspires" by turning in charges for medical treatment that was not provided
- A patient who signs a form stating he or she received a treatment or a medical device that was not received
Even if you were not actively involved in any wrongdoing, but knew of irregularities in billing and took no steps to stop it, you may face federal criminal charges for conspiracy to commit fraud against the government. A doctor may be charged as a co-conspirator for failure to assume responsibility for Medicare or Medicaid fraud happening under his or her watch.
If you have been charged with Medicare/Medicaid fraud, have been contacted for an audit of your records or believe you are under investigation, contact a Pennsylvania Medicaid fraud lawyer at Boyle, Autry & Murphy.
Internal Investigations and Medicare Audits
Corporate officers need to understand exactly what actions have occurred and whether those actions are, in fact, violations of any law. When that is known, your business can develop a remediation plan to prevent such actions in the future. This can often head off criminal charges.
The Philadelphia health care fraud lawyers at Boyle, Autry & Murphy can take a proactive approach by assisting your company in conducting its own internal investigation in advance of an audit, in tandem with an audit or following an audit. We take a team approach to internal corporate investigations, working alongside company personnel and with experienced investigators to determine what has occurred.
Our criminal law team is led by senior partner Dennis E. Boyle, a lawyer with more than 20 years of experience in investigations as a Navy staff advocate and an assistant U.S. attorney and district attorney. He has personally directed hundreds of investigations.
