Defending Against Health Care Fraud Charges

If you are facing state or federal health care fraud charges, it is important to contact an experienced white collar crime defense attorney as soon as possible. These types of cases require a tremendous amount of research and attention to detail.

The sooner you contact Lorenzi & Barnatt, the sooner we can start investigating your charges and building an effective defense of health care fraud charges. Trial attorney Tom Lorenzi, along with attorney Theresa Barnatt create a powerful defense team. Contact our law office in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to find out more.

Health Care Fraud Charges

Any of the following actions may constitute health care fraud:

  • Fraudulent billing
  • Overbilling
  • Medicare fraud
  • Medicaid fraud

Many individuals facing charges for health care fraud find themselves in their position unexpectedly. Often, the demands of Medicare and Medicaid on an administrative level become overwhelming. Clients come to our office after attempting to cope with an administrative system they don’t understand.

Civil and Criminal Consequences Are Possible

The civil consequences for a health care fraud conviction are separate from the criminal consequences. Even if criminal prosecution is dismissed, an individual may still face civil fines and debarment (if the defendant has a professional license as a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, or other professional).

Whatever the circumstances of your arrest or charges, we will thoroughly investigate your case to develop a defense that seeks to protect your freedom and professional practice.
