Los Angeles Medical Fraud Attorneys

When the federal government prosecutes crimes, there tend to be trends in the way they prosecute. For example, when Bernie Madoff was arrested for the largest Ponzi scheme in history, there were a number of white collar cases surrounding potential Ponzi schemes. Now that a few years of have passed, white collar crimes involving medical companies seem to have moved to the forefront. Possibly because of Obama's health care bill and possibly because of the growing level of fraud, the US attorney's offices are starting to investigate medical fraud, meaning that a Los Angeles Medical Fraud Attorney is absolutely necessary for health care providers. A recent case in Tujunga highlighted just how complicated these cases can get, and how much jail time someone could get as a result, both of which require a knowledgeable and experienced Los Angeles Medical Fraud Attorney.

A manager of a medical supply company in Tujunga was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison for his involvement in a fraudulent scam that brought in more than $1 million from the Medicare program. The man, from North Hollywood, pleaded guilty in June 2010 on conspiracy to commit health care fraud. The man managed RL Medical Supply company and bilked the Medicare program by submitting claims for unneeded electric wheelchairs, hospital beds, and other medical equipment which were never provided to patients. Part of the scheme involved the man submitting claims to Medicare that were supported by forged prescriptions. Of the more than $1 million worth of fraudulent claims, $600,000 was paid out. As any Los Angeles Medicare Fraud Attorney will tell you, when you are facing a case involving the federal government, you better have a great lawyer.
