Medicare and Medicaid Fraud Charges Can Have Serious Consequences

Medicare and Medicaid fraud involves illegal practices aimed at improperly earning money from these federal programs. In Texas, the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit plays a crucial role in investigating these offenses. Examples include:

• Billing for services never provided
• Accepting bribes for patient referrals to specific providers
• Seeking reimbursements for unnecessary or false services
• Charging for more expensive services than those actually provided (upcoding)
• Falsifying patient records to justify unnecessary treatments
• Issuing prescriptions for drugs not medically necessary

The penalties for being implicated in such activities are severe. Providers may face up to five years in prison, hefty fines and damaging repercussions to their professional licenses and careers. It is imperative to have an experienced attorney who can effectively defend against these allegations and help avoid severe criminal and civil penalties.
