As state and national health care costs have risen, Medicaid fraud and Medicare fraud have received increased attention. In fact it is estimated that health care fraud accounts for 3-10 percent of all health care expenditures. These violations may involve a crime under both Arizona and federal law. At the Law Office of O. Joseph Chornenky, we provide aggressive and experienced criminal defense for organizations and individuals who are under investigation or have been accused of health care fraud. Besides debarment, a conviction for health care fraud could mean incarceration. A conviction could also lead to civil proceedings. Our Phoenix, AZ law firm is no stranger to complicated white collar cases like health care fraud. Unlike larger firms, we devote our entire firm to each case. This often means poring over complicated financial statements, medical bills, and hospital billing codes in order to cast reasonable doubt on the government’s case.

Billing for services not rendered, using improper billing codes, billing for unnecessary equipment, kickbacks, and improper supervision of staff are all examples of conduct that could lead to a health care fraud accusation. Just about any medical professional and organization could be a target for health care fraud. Hospitals, hospital administrators, doctors, nurses, chiropractors, dentists, nursing homes, and physical therapists may all be targeted for health care fraud. The penalties for these crimes are very serious and could mean incarceration.
