In Detroit, the existence of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force has caused a drastic increase in the number of Medicare fraud prosecutions against physicians, pharmacies, and other healthcare providers.

Medicare fraud defense requires an attorney with detailed-specialized knowledge of ever-changing rules and regulations. Proper defense to a Medicare fraud investigation or indictment can be costly for a doctor if litigated by someone not intimately familiar with Medicare fraud defense and healthcare regulatory compliance, as well as criminal law.
This is not a task that should be entrusted to an attorney who does not regularly practice healthcare fraud.
Properly defending Medicare fraud charges requires knowledge of complex healthcare regulations, meticulous review of thousands of records, thoughtful investigation, a thorough understanding of what goes into healthcare compliance plans, what a false claim accusation entails, and a team of experienced experts.
Early intervention of a skilled medicare fraud attorney who not only can handle your indictment or investigation, but also all related collateral proceedings, will save you time and money, and will provide you peace of mind.
Unlike most criminal defense lawyers, our Detroit Medicare fraud attorneys have litigated healthcare fraud cases across the country, and we are prepared to vigorously defend you and your healthcare practice, pain management clinic, dentistry practice, ophthalmology clinic, urgent care practice, or pharmacy.
