Healthcare Fraud Lawyer Arkady Bukh Describes How Allegations of Abuse are Prosecuted

Fraud is, unfortunately, a symptom of a larger issue in healthcare and unfortunately, it does not seem that it will be rooted out anytime soon. The larger issue we are referring to, of course, is that of greed. Greed is shown on both sides of the spectrum–by both con artists who dupe insurance companies and by the large companies and corporations that overcharge their recipients by a thousand-fold for fairly cheap medications and surgeries. 

In order to cure the disease, however, and not just treat the symptoms, it’s wise to get legal counsel on your side that has dealt with accusations of healthcare fraud and knows how to navigate these troubled waters. Whether you are in need of defense services or you are just looking to protect your business from scammers, our law offices are the right place for you to turn. 

Despite the fact that many business owners in the healthcare space are business savvy, they may not be as well-informed on the most current schemes and scams trending in this industry.

There are far too many scammers and fraudsters out there who are willing to do anything to get government or insurance company money and our legal services can aid your healthcare business when litigation comes knocking.

Below is a brief overview of the type of healthcare fraud we’ve dealt with in the past. 

Healthcare Fraud We’ve Seen in the Past:

• Medicare and Medicaid fraud – Defrauding governmental programs comes with very serious legal ramifications and consequences.
• Kickback and referral schemes – Kickbacks are strictly prohibited in the healthcare world in order to protect patients from exploitation. 
• Providing medical services that were completely unnecessary to charge insurance companies – Defrauding insurance companies can come with its own set of penalties. 
• Falsifying diagnoses in order to justify unnecessary medical services – Falsifying diagnoses is not only a fraudulent action–it is also a cause for medical malpractice. 
• Billing issues, such as overcharging for medical devices and charging everything separately instead of bundling – Billing issues can be hard to diagnose for someone who is not trained to notice.
• Illegally upcoding in order to defraud insurance companies – Any defrauding that occurs in the medical space is strictly disciplined and typically not tolerated by authorities when found out.
