The Medicare Fraud Strike Force shattered its record last year with 300 arrests in 2 days. Whether you are a doctor receiving a target letter, a compounding pharmacy receiving a grand jury subpoena, or a laboratory receiving a civil investigative demand, the Firm will strive to mitigate the damage from any investigation, and where necessary, will battle in court.
It is now an annual summer tradition that the Department of Justice (DOJ), through its Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which was established in 2007 and is composed of various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies (e.g., OIG-HHS, DEA, FBI, Medicaid Fraud Control Units) will arrest various persons for alleged health care fraud and abuse. The Strike Force currently operates in 9 locations: Miami, Tampa, Brooklyn, Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, Southern Texas, Southern Louisiana, and Chicago.
DOJ appears to be focused on drug rehabilitation and substance abuse centers, laboratories, hospice providers, assisted living facilities (ALFs), home health agencies, and compounding pharmacies.
