Charges of home health care fraud, insurance fraud and Medicaid and Medicare fraud can have many honest doctors, medical professionals and medical equipment providers facing severe penalties. Home health care fraud is aggressively prosecuted by state and federal government agencies and what began as an honest mistake can suddenly turn into a criminal investigation. When this occurs, it is important to protect your rights with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

Charges of Home Health Care Fraud
Many cases of home health care fraud are related to billing mistakes or difficulties that medical professionals have when treating patients. Often, these errors are mistaken for fraudulent activities by state and federal investigators. As efforts to uncover and prosecute home health care fraud have increased in the last few years, investigators often make assumptions that lead to allegations of fraud. At my firm, I work with a team of experts to uncover what actually happened and to protect the rights of my clients.
Allegations of home health care fraud can include:
- Tests and services that are unnecessary or redundant
- Durable Medical Equipment (DME) fraud
- Doctored and/or fraudulent lab results or fabricated patient information
- Billing unnecessary tests, medical services or equipment
- Kickbacks or self-referrals
- Money laundering
As the medical professional changes, so do investigations of home health care fraud. Recently, diabetic care and HIV/AIDS treatment are being more tightly scrutinized by investigators to find fraud. Investigators do not always understand what has happened at the point of service and how complex billing codes can create errors that mistakenly appear as indicators of fraud.
