Experienced Fairfax Insurance Fraud Defense Attorneys

Often, fraud investigations are driven by a loss to private insurance carriers, Medicare, Medicaid or other providers. This can result in not only criminal charges, but costly civil litigation with the insurance companies. A major source of contention deals with medical coding, as one procedure can often have different codes, and the insurance company will argue that the provider billed for a more costly service.

Our Alexandria health care fraud attorneys understand the complexities of medical billing. We will work diligently to build a strong case strategy, reviewing patient files, examining government claims, interviewing patients and enlisting help from expert witnesses. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome to your situation.
