Proven Healthcare Fraud Defense Strategies

If your existing compliance structure fails or your Dallas company gets accused of healthcare fraud, the healthcare fraud defense team at Oberheiden P.C. can help you raise effective legal defenses to counter the allegations.

In the worst cases, they can blow out into a criminal case that carries prison time. Even if they do not get that far, they can still lead to civil allegations of fraud that carry disgorgement of all ill-gotten funds and civil penalties that can cripple even the most successful of healthcare companies.

Just a few of the issues that Oberheiden P.C.’s healthcare fraud defense lawyers have handled in the past have involved:

Frequently Asked Questions About Oberheiden P.C. and Healthcare Law in Dallas, Texas

Does Oberheiden P.C. Have a Law Office in Dallas, Texas?

Yes, Oberheiden P.C. has a law office in Dallas. It is located in the Oak Lawn neighborhood at 4131 North Central Expressway, in Suite #900, right off of Route 75.

You can call the Dallas office directly at 972-846-8818.

What Does It Mean to Be a “National Law Office”?

Oberheiden P.C. calls itself a “national law office” because we have locations across the United States, from Texas to Michigan and from Oregon to Florida. Each of these offices has its own team of local counsel and attorneys who are licensed to practice in their state and region. However, much of Oberheiden P.C.’s legal work is done in federal court, giving our lawyers more leeway to practice in multiple states. We find that this allows our firm to provide even better legal representation to our clients, whether that means pulling in an attorney who has even more experience in a particular subject matter for your case or using the lawyer who knows your healthcare company for issues that arise out of state.

Why Does Oberheiden P.C. Only Employ Senior-Level Lawyers?

Because we find that it takes the legal services that we offer to another level that you could not expect, otherwise.

Many other law firms tout the experience and past results of their senior-level lawyers and the firm’s partners. However, much of the legal representation that you actually end up receiving is provided by the firm’s junior associates or even its paralegals.

That is not how we represent our clients at Oberheiden P.C. All of the work product that we make for our clients was created entirely by highly experienced lawyers in the field of healthcare law.

What are the Potential Penalties for Healthcare Fraud?

The penalties that are on the table in a healthcare fraud case will depend on the circumstances and even on the laws being invoked.

However, even if the case does not escalate into a criminal offense, healthcare companies that are found civilly liable for healthcare fraud can find that they have to disgorge all of the funds that they have received through fraudulent means, as well as pay a civil penalty for each instance of fraud. Many cases easily exceed a million dollars, even if they do not lead to criminal charges. Those that do also carry the potential for jail time for executives.

When Should I Hire a Lawyer?

Generally, you should always get a lawyer on your side at the first sign of trouble. It is best, though, to have one on retainer so you can get the legal advice that you need to avoid even that first sign of trouble. Effective legal representation can also be used to bring your healthcare company into compliance with its legal obligations and steer clear of even the perception of wrongdoing.

Why Doesn’t Oberheiden P.C. Call Itself the Best Healthcare Law Firm in Dallas?

Because we prefer to let our clients say it. Many of the reviews and testimonials that they have left about Oberheiden P.C. give high praise for our professionalism and the legal representation that we provide to healthcare companies.
