Healthcare Fraud Attorney / Detroit Metro Area

With tightening budgets comes ever more intrusive regulatory investigations, the pursuit of healthcare fraud and abuse has also tightened, and claims of abuse are more widespread than ever. Almost any practitioner engages in treatment and billing activities which could be challenged by regulators, no matter how hard the doctor works to be honest, if an eager investigator puts the right "spin" on the conduct. Too often it becomes a question of who is looking and how aggressive they are, not whether someone is trying to cheat the system. Federal, state, and private payers have grown far more aggressive against healthcare providers who are seen to have "crossed the line" in treatment decisions and billings; while some are cutting corners, many are completely honest. Remember, whether it is viewed as a "mistake" or a "crime" is too often based on subjective analyses. As healthcare payers push harder to uncover improprieties, healthcare fraud attorneys also need to become more aggressive like James W. Burdick than most are in defense of their clients.
