Specialized Defense for Complex Health Care Charges

Health care fraud, considered a white-collar crime, can occur in a variety of different ways. Generally, health care fraud is committed by filing false or dishonest insurance claims or billing statements to make a profit. Some of the most common examples are:

• Filing duplicate claims
• Altering dates or descriptions of services
• Billing for services not provided
• Billing for more expensive services than those rendered (“up-coding”)
• Changing someone’s medical record
• Unnecessary treatment
• Selling prescription drugs

These activities are monitored and investigated by multiple agencies, including the FBI. The federal government takes health care fraud very seriously, relying on statistics that show up to 10 percent of health care costs are paying for fraudulent claims. A conviction of health care fraud can have dire consequences, including possible prison time, fines, and loss of your license.
