Medicare Fraud Defense

Before the government brings federal criminal charges for health care fraud, it conducts a rigorous investigation that can last up to a year. Often people who are eventually charged with health care fraud have a sense that they are being investigated. If you suspect an investigation, now is the time to act.

 

As a San Antonio criminal defense lawyer, I am known for aggressive defense of high-profile clients facing serious federal criminal charges for health care fraud and other white collar crimes.

With more than 35 years of experience handling federal criminal cases, I have achieved successful results in complex and large-scale fraud cases in San Antonio and around the Texas.

If you or your home health care company is facing criminal charges for Medicare billing fraud, or if you have been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury, get counsel from an experienced San Antonio health care fraud lawyer. Contact attorney Robert I. kahn immediately.

You need a San Antonio criminal attorney with a proven record of successfully defeating federal fraud charges. I have demonstrated my ability to get charges dropped or punishments lessened in Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud cases for home health care operations, including those involving:

  • Sending nurses to provide services that clients don't need
  • Billing for services that were not provided
  • Misreporting and over-reporting hours of personal care attendants
  • Billing for services provided to people who were not clients of the home health care company
  • Recruiting clients with direct payments to the prospective client or kick-backs
  • Conspiracy
  • Money laundering

As a San Antonio federal defense attorney, I also represents clients in federal criminal appeals for health insurance fraud.

Types of health care fraud allegations include:

  • Medicaid fraud and Medicare fraud

  • Performing medically unnecessary services in order to collect insurance money
