Health Care Fraud

Defense of Federal Healthcare Fraud Charges

The federal defense team of Stan Schneider and Ned Barnett provides experienced and resourceful client service to individuals, practice groups and hospitals charged with fraud in any aspect of medical or health care delivery. If you need the help of an attorney to resolve charges of healthcare fraud, please contact our Houston office for a free consultation.

Our experience with the defense of white collar crime charges in the federal courts extends to a wide range of problems that pharmacists, physicians, health insurers, medical supply companies and hospitals can sometimes encounter. These include:

• Overcharges for services, medications, or medical supplies covered by Medicare or Medicaid
• Presenting bills to the government for nonexistent medical services or fictitious patients
• Improper maintenance of prescription drug inventories
• Unauthorized or fraudulent distribution of prescription drugs
• False statements in licensing applications or reports to the government

Our lawyers can often go to work on behalf of providers accused of healthcare fraud before an indictment is handed down. In fact, we can achieve many important results on behalf of our clients while the investigation is still pending. Our ability to analyze and attack the case during the grand jury phase can often mean that you or your organization will not be charged with the most serious potential Medicare or Medicaid fraud charges.

We represent health care professionals in all of the federal district courts in Texas, and across the United States. For the highly skilled handling of such healthcare fraud charges as Medicare fraud, prescription drug fraud, or any other unlawful practice from referral kickbacks to fraud in government contracting, please contact Stan Schneider and Ned Barnett in Houston.
