Medicare Fraud

Houston Health Care Insurance Fraud Lawyers

While Medicare provides valuable health insurance coverage for millions of people over age 65 and others with disabilities, it is also a heavily regulated system of complex rules and processes. As such, many innocent physicians and administrators can make mistakes that end in Medicare fraud charges.

Texas criminal defense attorneys Stan Schneider and Ned Barnett understand the challenges health care providers face navigating the Medicare system. We defend clients throughout Texas and the U.S. accused of white collar crimes, including Medicare fraud.

Experienced Representation Against Federal Medicare Program Fraud Charges

While there may be unscrupulous medical professionals out to game the Medicare system, the overzealous government campaigns rooting out fraud and conspiracy in Houston and other major cities can ensnare doctors and others simply doing their jobs. Federal investigations into Medicare and Medicaid fraud are aggressive, often harming innocent medical professionals, their careers and their reputations.

We offer skilled Medicare fraud defense against allegations involving:

• Billing for services that were not performed
• Billing for more expensive services than those performed (up-codes)
• Self-referrals
• Filing claims for non-existent patients
• Kickbacks for certain treatments or drugs

Our knowledge of the medical care industry and government program practices and procedures helps us find weaknesses in the federal prosecutor's case, from sloppy investigations and illegal evidence to outright violations of someone's rights. We have extensive experience representing clients who may are under investigation for health care fraud or may already be facing criminal fraud charges. The sooner we get involved, the more likely we can help you find a favorable outcome to a white collar crime charge.
