Miami Health Care Fraud Lawyer
Defending Against Health Care Fraud in Florida
From the time an injury is suffered until the time a claim is submitted to the healthcare provider, there are several hands on the paperwork. An injured person may have completed forms regarding their medical history, a health care clinic likely filed forms for appointments requests, and the doctor signed papers for prescriptions or verifying necessary treatments.
By the time a claim is submitted to the health care company, fraud could have happened at any step of the process or at several steps in the process. Whether you are a patient, clinic owner or doctor, if you are facing charges of health care fraud, attorney Clayton R. Kaeiser can help.
Representation for Patients
The sophistication of technology makes Florida a hotspot for health care fraud claims. People are learning more about faking accidents and injuries. They know how to push fake paperwork through the system, and they are getting better at filing fake claims. However, a patient who is caught for health care fraud may face charges of theft or insurance fraud, and they will likely lose their insurance benefits.
Representation for Clinics
If a clinic is charged with health care fraud allegations, the owner could be prosecuted for organized fraud -- a first degree felony. The owner may face licensing issues and struggle to open another clinic if the fraudulent one was closed.
Representation for Doctors
Doctors are busy people. They do not have time to read every word that comes through the papers on their desks. They trust the people who work for them to ensure only clean and honest documents land on their desk. Unfortunately, that means some doctors are unknowingly caught up in health care fraud that they know nothing about.
Doctors facing allegations of health care fraud have their entire livelihood on the line. If convicted, a doctor would likely lose his or her medical license in addition to facing criminal penalties.
