Yes, hiring legal representation for your Medicare fraud investigation is critical. The federal agents and prosecutors who handle Medicare fraud cases are highly experienced at building cases against investigation targets in order to pursue civil, and in many cases criminal, charges. By hiring a defense team during your investigation, you can:
Avoid unwittingly providing damaging statements or disclosing potentially incriminating records that you are under no legal obligation to provide or disclose.
Have your defense attorneys intervene in the investigation and communicate with investigators and prosecutors on your behalf.
Determine whether the investigation is civil or criminal in nature, and implement a strategic defense plan designed to avoid having your investigation lead to federal charges.
