Health care fraud is an extremely complicated area of law. The Federal Healthcare Fraud Statute is a “catch-all” provision used by the government to encompass virtually any type of health care fraud, including:
The statute specifically states that anyone who “knowingly and willfully executes or attempts to execute a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program or obtain by means of false pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any health care benefit program” is guilty of fraud and subject to imprisonment.
The penalties for a conviction for the offenses listed above can be devastating, including both imprisonment and monetary penalties or sanctions. The consequences of a healthcare fraud conviction will impact the rest of your personal and professional life.
If you have been wrongly convicted of healthcare fraud you need a team of experienced appellate attorneys by your side.
In order to appeal your conviction, you must act quickly. Under federal law, you have only 14 days to file notice an appeal after the entry of the judgment. There are a lot of decisions that must be made prior to filing an appeal, so it is important to contact your appellate attorney as soon as possible.
Generally, there are four common grounds for which individuals convicted of healthcare fraud can seek to appeal their health care fraud conviction:
The basis for an appeal is a very fact-heavy, nuanced legal determination, and your appellate attorneys can assist you with it. The future of your personal and professional life may hinge on the outcome of your appeal.
