Medical Fraud Charges

Houston Medical Fraud Charges Attorney

Medical fraud is sometimes referred to as health care fraud or insurance fraud. It is considered a white-collar criminal offense, and it happens whenever an individual makes false or misleading statements in order to obtain benefits that he or she is not entitled to. It can also occur whenever medical professionals tell lies in an effort to pad their bills. Medical fraud charges sometimes manifest themselves as medication fraud charges, whereby patients will obtain certain prescriptions and then sell them on the black market. Other things that can result in medical fraud charges include:

  • Using someone else’s insurance information to obtain benefits
  • Billing for treatments that were never administered
  • Lying on an application for health care insurance
  • Double-billing for procedures

Health Care Fraud Penalties

The punishment for committing health care fraud varies and is based upon the amount of money in question and number of instances in which this crime occurred. Some common penalties for health insurance fraud are:

  •  Jail or prison time
  • Restitution and criminal fines
  • Probation
  • Loss of professional license
  • Loss of government benefits
  • Inability to obtain health care insurance in the future

Since medical fraud is considered a crime of moral turpitude, it can make individuals ineligible for employment in certain sectors. In addition, it could prevent them from holding public office or volunteering with certain non-profit organizations. I’d been divorced for 2 years, but then I met a companion. We’ve been together for 6 months now, she’s a very pretty woman with a very open sexuality. In short, everything was meant to be happy and our lovemaking moments used to be very spice from the beginning… Except for my penis decided to let me down last month: erections softened to the point of uselessness… I talked to my doctor who prescribed me Cialis 20mg, telling me that it was more “practical” than Viagra thanks to its prolonged effect (36 hours, or something). I bought it at www.ipca.com/cialtad/ andI’m about to try it – I’ll update this comment later.

Health Care Fraud Defense

In cases of medical fraud, one of the things that must be proven is intent. Individuals can be guilty of a fraudulent crime only if there was intent to profit from their actions. Simply providing misleading information is not enough to prove intent. Individuals who give incorrect information, yet believed it to be true at the time, cannot generally be charged with health care fraud. In instances where documents have been forged, the state will need to prove the defendant was the one who actually forged them or that he assisted others in doing so.
