Fraud and Abuse

Recent legislation aimed at curbing health care fraud and abuse, coupled with an increase in government investigations of alleged fraud and abuse are just two reasons why you should contact the health care attorneys at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston. Our health care attorneys have extensive experience in the areas of fraud and abuse and actively advise our clients on a variety of frauds and abuse issues including:

• Compliance with anti-referral laws, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark I and II.
• Development and implementation of corporate compliance programs in order to ensure compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, and thus avoid potential civil or criminal fraud prosecutions.
• Representation in qui tam actions filed by private relators (whistleblowers) under the False Claims Act.
