Medical License Defense: Navigating The Complexities Of Post-Fraud Charges
The threat to your medical license can come from various angles, particularly when criminal charges or investigations are involved. Even mere allegations of fraud or misconduct can place your license at risk, underscoring the need for a strategic and robust defense. As medical license defense lawyers, we emphasize the importance of a proactive and informed defense strategy. Defending against criminal charges for medical fraud requires thorough knowledge of health care laws and an aggressive approach to litigation and negotiations. Our attorneys are well-versed in the nuances of both state and federal regulations concerning health care practices, making Cogdell Law Firm a trusted ally in safeguarding your professional future.
Examples of health care fraud cases that can jeopardize your medical license include:
- Billing for nonrendered services
- Overprescribing medications for nonmedical reasons
- Falsifying patient diagnoses to justify unnecessary treatments
- Kickback schemes for patient referrals
- Misusing provider numbers to bill for higher levels of services
When entangled in multiple investigations, such as a medical malpractice lawsuit or a federal health care fraud investigation, the complexity of your legal situation increases significantly. These situations can illuminate the reasons behind – and the extent of – a Texas Medical Board (TMB) investigation. It is crucial to manage your TMB defense with an awareness of any other legal challenges you might be confronting. The disclosures you make and the statements you provide during your TMB investigation could potentially impact other legal proceedings. We can help you ensure that your defense strategy is cohesive and does not inadvertently compromise your position in relation to related legal concerns.
