SHG Healthcare’s Investigation Leads to Dismissal of Medicaid Fraud Charges
Medicaid Fraud Charges Dismissed
After a diligent investigation, federal prosecutors were forced to admit their errors. A highly respected Puerto Rico hospitalist has triumphed over nearly $1 million in alleged healthcare fraud charges. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our dedicated Medicaid fraud investigators at SHG Healthcare, the truth has prevailed, leading federal prosecutors to dismiss the case entirely.
Imagine a compassionate Puerto Rico physician, diligently serving in the emergency department of a bustling hospital. Like many dedicated healthcare professionals, he worked through a physician staffing company, providing essential services to patients while retaining the right to bill for his work. Unfortunately, complications arose when the staffing company, claiming the authority to bill on his behalf, made a crucial misstep. But SHFG’s investigation revealed that there was no legitimate assignment of billing privileges from the physician to any other entity.

Faced with inaccurate accusations, the physician turned to SHG Healthcare for support, seeking justice in the face of adversity. SHG Healthcare’s Medicaid Fraud Investigators swiftly launched a meticulous Medicaid fraud investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and securing expert testimonies to validate the provider’s billing practices. Despite our best efforts to dissuade the government from pursuing baseless claims, the case was destined for trial.
However, on the eve of the trial, a breakthrough occurred. The government, confronted with our compelling evidence, chose to enter into an agreement to dismiss the indictment. Finally, the truth prevailed, and the physician’s name was cleared.
