Health Care and COVID Related Fraud

When an entity or executive is accused of submitting fraudulent billings or violating Anti-Kickback laws, the company must have accurate information when making critical business decisions. If senior executives may be liable, the Board of Directors itself will often undertake an internal investigation. That investigation must be done by truly independent counsel – not the corporation’s counsel. 

We have worked directly for the Board or its Special Committee to conduct a thorough forensic investigation of actions and policies involved in the alleged malfeasance. We report our findings to the Board with helpful and practical recommendations to mitigate the damage and prevent future liability.  The US Department of Justice has formed a national COVID Fraud Task Force with more than 5000 federal agents and prosecutors.  We have represented corporate boards in healthcare and scientific research when an internal investigation is needed.  We then work with the federal investigators to present our findings and remediation measures.
