Health care fraud has been an increasingly problematic and complicated area of law that usually includes false billing under Medicare or Medicaid. These illegal acts can include anything from billing for services that have not yet or never will be performed and billing for medication or medical devices that have not or will not be used.
Not only does health care fraud involve people who provide services or products in the health industry, but it can involve health care professionals and organizations on all levels including:
- Doctors
- Nurses
- Dentists
- Pharmacists
License Revocation, Hefty Fines and Possible Prison Time
Health care fraud is not a matter taken lightly in South Carolina. There are serious consequences for an indictment in this area. First and foremost, the fines can be overwhelming and costly. Second, you may lose your license to continue working. Lastly, you will have to attend a hearing before your licensing board and you may end up with prison time. If your license to practice is taken away, you may not be able to have that standard of living that you could have with an active license.
It is highly recommended that you contact an experienced lawyer, such as Micah Leddy, as soon as possible to prevent statements that may indict you. He has personally represented many professional clients and will work to keep you out of jail and to retain your license.
