Oberheiden, P.C. Defends Physicians, Business Owners, and Healthcare Executives in Latest DOJ Healthcare Fraud Prosecution Wave
Experienced and Knowledgeable Defense Attorneys Fighting on Behalf of Medcal Professionals
On July 13, 2017, the Department of Justice announced the arrest and indictment of more than 400 individuals accused of various forms of healthcare fraud. In a coordinated effort spanning federal agencies and U.S. Attorney’s Offices across the United States, federal prosecutors released the indictments of physicians, business owners, healthcare marketers and other members of the healthcare industry totaling more than 30 jurisdictions. Attorney General Jeff Sessions explained that the supervising Medicare Fraud Strike Force, a joint task force comprised of agents from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) and other federal law enforcement groups will continue prosecuting Medicare Fraud, Tricare Fraud, Medicaid Fraud, violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute, and other forms of fraud and abuse in the healthcare sector.
Healthcare fraud defense firm Oberheiden, P.C. stands at the forefront of the latest prosecution wave. Oberheiden, P.C. is a healthcare fraud defense firm that represents physicians and business owners in healthcare investigations across the country. The team consists of high-ranking former Medicare prosecutors, former Department of Justice trial attorneys, former Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSA) and Special Assistant United States Attorneys (SAUSA), as well as experienced healthcare fraud defense attorneys. The Firm’s focus is healthcare fraud criminal trials.
“This latest enforcement wave is the largest in the history of the Department of Justice. It reminds everyone in the healthcare industry that the risk of investigation and enforcement is real,” explains the managing partner of Oberheiden, P.C.. “Without a doubt, being federally indicted is a severe experience that requires smart and strategic decision-making. What makes it worse for many of the defendants in this case is that there is not just the exposure of losing their freedom but also their professional license. This creates enormous pressure and prohibits any legal experiments,” adds one of the Firm’s partners, a former federal prosecutor.
Oberheiden, P.C. offers clients decades of first-hand Department of Justice insight and experience. Many attorneys come from leading positions within the healthcare fraud sections at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and advise clients how the government investigates a case and what strategies to pursue to avoid or undo an indictment. Oberheiden, P.C. is primarily known for its forceful and distinguished criminal trial practice that encompasses involvement in hundreds of federal criminal trials.
