Defense Against Health Care Fraud Charges In North Carolina

Health care fraud is a serious problem for a number of reasons. For one thing, the health care system operates with intricate details, billing and accounting practices. Whether fraud occurs deliberately or through sloppy bookkeeping, it typically siphons resources from public sources, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Covid-19 relief funds and others. Thanks to whistleblower protections, theft through health care fraud often comes to light after losses have been significant.

You may be under investigation or your clinic or medical practice may have been named in criminal charges through a grand jury investigation or any other pathway to prosecution.
