Attorney Andrew Feldman Presents on Health Care Fraud on Annual ABA Webinar

Health care fraud attorney Andrew S. Feldman presented with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Sievert (Eastern District of Tennessee) on health care fraud on a webinar sponsored by the ABA Health Law Section.

The program was the second health care fraud and abuse webinar presented by Mr. Feldman, a health care fraud attorney in Miami, Florida, and focused on  enforcement initiatives of the Department of Justice in 2016 and the impact of some of those initiatives, including the emphasis on individuals (Yates Memo) and prosecutions of physicians in “medical necessity” cases. The program further highlighted

  • The enhanced use of parallel civil and criminal proceedings in False Claims Act and Health Care Fraud prosecutions;
  • Major victories for the government and the defense in high profile trials and the practical takeaways from those cases;
  • The uptick in prosecutions and investigations related to compounding pharmacies and pharmacists including the increase in Department of Defense and Tricare investigations; and
  • Recent trends and developments in enforcement and prosecution of corporate entities for violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act relating to sales and marketing entities.
