Department of Justice Issues “Fact Sheet” on Fighting Health Care Fraud and Abuse
The United States Department of Justice has issued a "fact sheet" describing its efforts to combat health care fraud and abuse.
The Department of Justice, in cooperation with the Department of Health and Human Services, has guided the enforcement efforts of the national Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program (HCFAC) since its inception in 1997. The program was designed to coordinate federal, state and local law enforcement on cases of health care fraud and abuse as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Today, the Department's efforts to investigate and prosecute the individuals and companies who commit health care fraud are as strong as ever, thanks in large part to the Department's many components working closely with partners at the Department of Health and Human Services, and state and local law enforcement.
Frank, Haron, Weiner and Navarro is the pre-eminent health care fraud and abuse law firm in Michigan, representing whistleblowers who are aware of fraud and who are courageous enough to notify the Department of Justices and to institute Qui Tam suits to recover amounts fraudulently taken from the government treasury.
Frank, Haron, Weiner and Navarro also represents health care providers in compliance and regulatory matters to enable them to follow the law and honestly and competently practice their professions.
For more information on this subject or any other health care or fraud and abuse legal topics, please contact David L. Haron or Monica P. Navarro.
