In recent years, fraud and abuse in the health care industry has been a major law enforcement priority at both the federal and state levels. Hoffman Angeli LLP lawyers have handled a number of these matters, coordinating joint defense teams, conducting internal investigations, collecting and analyzing millions of documents, and mounting challenges to novel theories of criminal liability posed by prosecutors. In a number of instances, our attorneys have obtained favorable, non-criminal resolutions allowing clients to avoid or minimize collateral consequences such as Medicare/Medicaid exclusion and disciplinary actions by professional licensing boards.

Representative Cases:

• We represented a major national health care provider in a federal criminal investigation into allegedly fraudulent Medicare billing practices. After a thorough internal investigation and presentation to the government, the Justice Department ultimately declined prosecution.
• We represented a state contractor indicted on federal charges stemming from the alleged payment of kickbacks in connection with a large federal Medicaid program.
