Health Care Fraud Defense Lawyers in Baltimore
Defending Clients in Maryland, Washington, D.C. & Beyond
Health care providers know that treating patients involves complex regulations and reimbursement procedures, including oversight from private insurers, as well as state and federal agencies. State and federal investigators periodically contact health care providers and review billing practices and procedures. Unfortunately, those investigations can elevate from routine audits to full-blown grand jury investigations and criminal proceedings. They can also lead to federal False Claims Act civil actions involving potentially huge fines and penalties.
When facing fraud accusations, consult with an experienced defense attorney from Nathans & Biddle LLP about protecting your interests. Call (410) 783-0272 or contact us online today.
