About Oberheiden P.C.’s Healthcare Fraud Defense Team

When founding partner Dr. Nick Oberheiden created the national law firm Oberheiden P.C., the goal had been to gather some of the most experienced healthcare fraud defense attorneys under one roof. Since then, our firm has expanded to over 40 states and has represented numerous individual and corporate clients against allegations of misconduct in the healthcare industry, putting together a formidable track record of success in a wide variety of legal issues.

Oberheiden P.C.’s Healthcare Fraud Defense Team

The healthcare fraud defense team at Oberheiden P.C. consists entirely of lawyers and investigators who have extensive experience handling healthcare cases for clients. Many of them also have prior experience on the side of law enforcement, including some who spent years within some of the following federal agencies before joining Oberheiden P.C.:

• Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
• U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG)
• Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)

These agencies, and a few others like them, are tasked with enforcing federal healthcare laws and protecting federal sources of healthcare funding, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and other federal insurers.

All of that experience at Oberheiden P.C.’s healthcare fraud defense team gives our clients access to an extremely nuanced understanding of how these detail-heavy cases tend to proceed. We are often able to predict how your case will evolve as it progresses, giving us the ability to better defend your rights and interests and protect your future.

The Types of Cases We Handle

There are lots of different types of healthcare fraud, and innovative criminals are constantly coming up with new ways of defrauding health insurance companies. Unfortunately, for the rest of the healthcare industry and the players in it, these nefarious actors make the law enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction over the field think that healthcare fraud is way more prevalent than it really is.

That is why Oberheiden P.C.’s healthcare fraud defense team has been busy representing clients in the following types of litigation, among others:

• Drug diversion allegations
• Medicare fraud
• Tricare fraud
• Home health agency (HHA) fraud
• Hospice fraud
• Billing fraud
• Wrongful death claims
• Allegations of sexual assault against healthcare professionals
• Medical license defense

Additionally, our healthcare fraud defense team can get on board earlier in the process, helping you invoke your rights during:

• Laboratory audits
• FDA subpoenas
• OIG subpoenas
• Civil investigative demands
• Audits by private health insurance companies
• Audits by Medicaid

Our healthcare defense lawyers also help healthcare companies reach their compliance needs for:

• Anti-kickback laws
• Mobile clinic compliance
• Compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

These cases come in numerous different forms, each of which can imperil you or your healthcare company in different ways. Just a few of these legal threats are:

• Criminal charges
• Civil allegations
• Administrative procedures
• Claims against your medical license
• Whistleblower allegations
• Insurance recoupment attempts

Just because a healthcare fraud allegation does not come in the form of a criminal charge does not mean that it can be ignored or blown off.
