All home healthcare investigations have three stages. In the first stage, the government investigates alleged wrongdoings and, if convinced that there is a reason to believe that healthcare fraud occurred, the government will either issue a subpoena and request records or ask the court to execute a search warrant. If you have received a subpoena or a search warrant has been executed, it is very important to immediately call experienced defense legal counsel. With the appearance of your counsel, the case enters the second stage, which is mostly characterized by your attorney starting negotiations and a case resolution with government officials. The third stage consists of the resolution of the case, which greatly depends on whether your attorneys were able to keep the case civil or whether the case is criminal and will be resolved by court order.
