There are several different types of federal charges that healthcare providers may face, including healthcare fraud and violations of the False Claims Act. Healthcare fraud involves submitting false or fraudulent claims to healthcare programs, while the False Claims Act prohibits submitting false or fraudulent claims to the federal government for payment. Healthcare providers may also face charges under the Anti-Kickback Statute for accepting or providing kickbacks for referrals. These charges can be prosecuted both civilly and criminally, and the potential consequences of a conviction can be severe.

The Safe Harbor Group team of professionals includes former government investigators who have worked for Medicaid Fraud Control Units, major insurance companies, and state boards of medicine. This gives our clients an edge when facing healthcare fraud investigations, as our team has firsthand knowledge of how these investigations are conducted and what the government is looking for in terms of evidence.
