Charleston Medicare Fraud Attorney
Lawyer for Health Care Fraud Charges
Medicare and other forms of health care fraud cost the government and private insurers millions, if not billions, of dollars every year. It is even estimated that 10% of the federal government's Medicaid fund is lost to fraud. In South Carolina, our state spends an average of $2.7 billion dollars a year, meaning that we lose around $270 million to fraud every year. For this reason, our state has created a whole unit based around the recovery of fraudulently taken Medicaid money. This Medicated Fraud Control Unit is federally backed and thoroughly investigates fraud cases throughout the state. The federal government also is vehemently investigating fraud cases. If you or your office is being investigated, do not wait until charges are pressed. Speak with your Charleston medicare fraud attorney immediately. We can help defend your rights and fight any charges that may come later.
Both the state's fraud unit and the federal investigators always create a throughout, well-researched case against those accused of Medicare or Medicaid fraud. Without a skilled Charleston health care fraud lawyer at your side, you have little chance of beating these charges. Common accusations made against doctors, hospitals and other health centers include:
- Billing for services not rendered
- Ordering unnecessary tests and treatments
- Creating fraudulent cost reports
- Making self-referrals
- Billing for equipment that is not provided
- And more...
When a person is convicted for fraud, they not only have to deal with the court-imposed penalties, they also have to live with a fraud charge on their record. This may make it more difficult to find future employment and will greatly harm their professional reputation. Don’t take chances with your future. Hire a skilled Charleston medicare fraud lawyer to represent your interests in court.
