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. 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.

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 and a federal health care fraud investigation — the complexity increases significantly. It is crucial to manage your Texas Medical Board (TMB) defense with awareness of any other legal challenges, since disclosures and statements you make during a TMB investigation could impact other proceedings. We help ensure your defense strategy is cohesive and does not inadvertently compromise your position.
