Health Care Fraud and Abuse Prevention and Defense
Health care fraud and abuse enforcement is complex, aggressive, and increasingly high stakes. Providers and health care organizations need more than legal advice—they need strategic counsel that understands the regulatory environment, the business pressures they face, and the importance of protecting both operations and reputation. Our health care attorneys help clients identify risk early, strengthen compliance, and respond decisively when government scrutiny, audits, investigations, or enforcement actions arise.
Prevention and Compliance Counseling
Effective fraud and abuse prevention begins with a compliance program that works in practice—not just on paper. We partner with clients to assess vulnerabilities, develop tailored policies and procedures, evaluate billing and referral arrangements, and create practical systems that support compliant operations. When potential issues are identified, we help clients move quickly and thoughtfully, including through internal review, corrective action, self-disclosure, and resolution strategies designed to reduce exposure and preserve business continuity.
Investigation and Enforcement Defense
When enforcement activity begins, early strategy matters. We represent clients in responding to governmental inquiries, audits, subpoenas, investigations, and civil or criminal fraud and abuse allegations. Our attorneys bring seasoned judgment to every stage of the process, helping clients manage risk, communicate effectively with regulators, defend against overbroad or unsupported claims, and pursue favorable resolutions, including Corporate Integrity Agreements, negotiated settlements, or other alternatives to prosecution or civil enforcement where appropriate.
