Medicare and Medicaid Fraud
Being accused of Medicare or Medicaid fraud is serious and can lead to steep fines, loss of licensure, and even prison time. At the Law Offices of John S. Cossum, we understand the complexities of healthcare fraud cases. Our role is to defend you against these charges by meticulously reviewing your case, investigating billing practices, and challenging any evidence of wrongdoing. We aim to protect your reputation, your livelihood, and your future by crafting a solid defense strategy that addresses every aspect of the case.
Upcoding involves billing for more expensive services or procedures than those actually performed. Our team challenges these claims by reviewing medical records, billing procedures, and compliance with industry standards.
If you're accused of offering or accepting kickbacks for patient referrals, we examine the relationships in question and explore defenses, such as lack of intent or misunderstanding of the arrangements.
This involves billing for separate services that should have been bundled into one charge. We review the billing codes, medical necessity, and insurance contracts to challenge the fraud allegations.
Accusations of submitting claims for medical procedures or services that were never performed are common in fraud cases. We work to dismantle the evidence and identify any legitimate billing mistakes that may have been misconstrued as fraud.
Altering medical records or claims to secure higher reimbursements can lead to severe charges. We investigate whether any discrepancies were intentional or the result of honest mistakes, fighting to reduce or dismiss charges.
In some cases, healthcare providers may be accused of submitting fraudulent claims for unnecessary treatments or services. We scrutinize patient records and medical histories to defend against accusations of illegal billing practices.
If you’re facing Medicare or Medicaid fraud charges, time is critical. Contact the Law Offices of John S. Cossum today for a comprehensive defense consultation. Let us protect your business, your livelihood, and your future.
