Durable Medical Equipment Fraud - Florida Defense Attorney
Across the United States, the Department of Justice, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, and the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) are investigating companies that provide durable medical equipment (DME).
DME company owners and marketers have been accused of and indicted by grand juries for health care fraud and fraudulent billing practices involving the provision of power wheelchairs, orthotics, adult incontinence supplies, hospital beds, oxygen tanks and other durable medical products.
Before the federal government brings criminal charges, it conducts a lengthy and rigorous investigation. Often people who are charged with health care fraud have a sense that they are being investigated before they are indicted or asked to appear at a grand jury proceedings.
