Among federal crimes, health-care fraud is quite commonly prosecuted across the country, including in Louisiana. This type of fraud often involves health-care providers and professionals such as physicians, dentists, pharmacists and facilities operators as well as ordinary citizens. Those accused of health-care fraud typically face charges of defrauding the federal government’s Medicare and Medicaid programs. Sometimes the only way for a defendant to clear his or her name is through a trial in which defenses can be presented to a judge or jury and prosecutors’ cases and evidence can be challenged.
