South Florida Referral Kickback Defense Attorney
In the medical field, it is prohibited for doctors, dentists and other medical professionals to get referral fees for referring patients to other clinics, hospitals or health care providers. These referral fees, also known as kickbacks, can land medical professionals in trouble with state and federal investigators who aggressively prosecute health care fraud. Additionally, any destroyed medical records or other evidence may be deemed as an obstruction of justice and may also prompt criminal charges.
At my law firm, I defend doctors and other medical professionals who have been accused of receiving or providing referral kickbacks. Together with a team of staff and medical experts, I will review billing records, patient lists, office visit information and other financial information that is related to the charges. I work hard to get charges dismissed and will get involved in the process as early as possible to assert my clients' rights.
If you are being investigated for receiving kickbacks or if you have already been charged with health care fraud, contact my firm and speak with me about your case.
Allegations of Referral Kickbacks and Health Care Fraud
Kickbacks to doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other medical professionals may be given for a variety of reasons, including:
- Ordering medical tests
- Prescribing certain kinds and brands of medication
- Using medical equipment and supplies from certain companies
- Ordering medically unnecessary procedures
- Referrals to health care clinics and hospitals
- Referrals to doctors and other medical professionals
Many investigations into allegations of kickbacks begin when investigators mistake simple billing errors with fraudulent activities or when other medical professionals tip off investigators to kickbacks and other fraud. State and federal investigators will carefully review the financial records of those accused of fraud, including personal bank accounts and tax returns. If you are being investigated for receiving referral kickbacks, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
