Florida, the garden state, has also been popularly designated as the Snow Bird State, both for the number of Canadians who head south for sunshine and warmth during the winter seasons, and for the high ration of snowy headed humans who fly their in their winter years. With such a high density of moneyed older residents, health care providers are in abundance. And as criminal lawyers, Tampa and throughout Florida, are aware, with abundance, unfortunately comes its opposite, crime.

Healthcare Fraud is not restricted to fraudulent claims for unauthorized benefits; criminal attorneys with Tampa clients also handle perpetrated fraud by a provider such as a doctor or therapist, an insured member, and an employer. Healthcare criminal attorneys, Tampa and throughout Florida, handle fraud that results from the intentional misrepresentation or deception by a provider, employer, or paid member of any healthcare activity that results in the receipt of either unauthorized benefits or financial gain.

Because healthcare fraud is a serious offense, criminal attorneys, Tampa residents, and other Florida residents, are involved in cases for which, upon conviction, the penalties can be substantial fines and even imprisonment. It is important that defendants requiring criminal attorneys in Tampa choose a lawyer who is familiar with healthcare fraud and can defend the difference between simple billing errors, a false claim and what after aggressive investigation may be determined as criminal indictment.

Provider Healthcare Fraud

Criminal attorneys with Tampa representation handle provider healthcare fraud that can include misrepresentation as a licensed provider, bribes for referring patients or even influencing the diagnosis, distribution of non-compliant devices, and inappropriate drug prescriptions. The criminal attorneys in Tampa even see the failure to train and supervise unlicensed personnel, who cost less but are not accredited healthcare providers.

Fraudulent Billing Practices

Whereas billing for medical and healthcare services has always been a huge, complicated system, interspersed with insurance claims and insurance providers, criminal attorneys, Tampa can validate, have a long list of criminal practices that have arisen out of the vulnerable systems of accounting. Typical forms of billing fraud handled by criminal attorneys in Tampa include services, procedures, and supplies not provided, items not covered by insurance but claimed as such, and deliberate duplicate billing to name a few.

Insured Member Healthcare Fraud

Members have come to criminal attorneys in Tampa for defense in healthcare fraud for assistance with their cases as well. They have either used another person's coverage to secure health care or forged or changed bills or receipts in some fashion or other. They have also filed claims for services or drugs that they have not received and even doctor hopped; hopped from one doctor to the next in order to gain multiple prescriptions for controlled substances. Criminal attorneys in Tampa Florida have seen it all.

Employer Healthcare Fraud

Last but by no means least, criminal attorneys in Tampa handle employers who enroll ineligible employees, alter hire and fire dates to effect dates of coverage, and even create fictitious health plans.
