Healthcare Fraud Defense Attorneys

Facing a Medicare fraud investigation, OIG investigation, or health insurance fraud allegations? When federal investigators, CMS contractors, or insurance companies target your medical practice with fraud charges, you need experienced civil healthcare fraud defense lawyers who can resolve the matter administratively and prevent escalation to criminal prosecution.

At Hendershot Cowart P.C., our healthcare fraud attorneys have defended healthcare providers against civil fraud allegations for over 35 years. We focus on resolving Medicare fraud investigations, False Claims Act cases, and regulatory enforcement actions before they become criminal matters.

Our federal healthcare fraud defense attorneys represent medical providers throughout the United States in healthcare fraud investigations involving Medicare, TRICARE, and private insurance programs.

Time is critical when you're under investigation. Regulators, auditors, and others who initiate healthcare fraud actions are highly sensitive to spotting inconsistencies and unusual patterns, and aggressive in pursuing potential violations. They also work to stay a step ahead: When agencies come knocking on your door, chances are they have already invested significant time investigating your case.

Speak with an attorney as soon as possible after receiving notice of any action, audit, or medical fraud investigation. Acting quickly to establish lines of communication with the investigating body is critical.

We will aggressively work to protect and defend your interests in or out of the courtroom.
