False Claims Act and Health Care Fraud Litigation Support

Facing Daunting Health Care Fraud or False Claims Act Litigation? We Can Help.

As a healthcare provider, facing allegations of healthcare fraud can be a daunting and challenging experience. The potential consequences of a conviction under the healthcare fraud statute (1347), the False Claims Act, or the Anti-Kickback Statute can be severe and may include hefty fines, exclusion from government healthcare programs, and even imprisonment. In this article, we will discuss how CCG Healthcare can assist in the defense of healthcare fraud litigation and provide our clients with an edge in such cases.

We also have experience working with expert witnesses who can provide testimony on complex medical and billing issues.

Federal Charges for Healthcare Fraud and False Claims Act

There are several different types of federal charges that healthcare providers may face, including healthcare fraud and violations of the False Claims Act. Healthcare fraud involves the submission of false or fraudulent claims to healthcare programs, while the False Claims Act prohibits the submission of false or fraudulent claims to the federal government for payment. Healthcare providers may also face charges under the Anti-Kickback Statute for accepting or providing kickbacks for referrals. These charges can be prosecuted both civilly and criminally, and the potential consequences of a conviction can be severe.

Former Government Investigators

At CCG Healthcare, our team of professionals includes former government investigators who have worked for Medicaid Fraud Control Units, major insurance companies, and state boards of medicine. This gives our clients an edge when facing healthcare fraud investigations, as our team has firsthand knowledge of how these investigations are conducted and what the government is looking for in terms of evidence.
