Fight Federal Health Care Fraud Allegations in Houston

If you are a healthcare provider, a doctor, or a facility, you might get accused of:

  • Billing for services not rendered
  • Misrepresentation of services
  • Misrepresentation of dates of services
  • Unbundling of services
  • Upcoding of services
  • Double billing
  • Billing for medically unnecessary services
  • Ineligible dependents

Convictions for health insurance fraud can go up to 20 years in cases where there was bodily harm. In cases where the fraud is proven to have caused a person’s death, the defendant can face life in prison. However, even when not convicted, an accusation can result in the loss of your medical license, fines, and years of probation, ruining your reputation, your business, and the people around you.

To convict someone of health care fraud, a prosecutor must prove that there was intention behind the false statements provided. This is where the assistance of an expert legal team is paramount.

Floyd Law Firm has more than 50 years of combined experience and is known for our personalized strategies, tireless preparation, and proven courtroom skills.
