Hire an experienced attorney.

Being sued for Medicaid or Medicare fraud is a very serious legal matter.

There is only a limited amount of time to respond to a Medicaid fraud lawsuit. It is important to understand that anything you say or write in response could potentially jeopardize the outcome of your case.

That’s why you should meet with an attorney as soon as possible.

What steps should I take if I’m being sued for Medicaid fraud?

Do not respond directly to the law firm suing your medical practice.

Do not respond to the person who filed the lawsuit against you or your medical practice.

Do not destroy any medical records related to this case.

Contact an attorney immediately.

When the stakes are high, get legal counsel who can rise to the challenge.

Being sued for Medicaid fraud can have serious consequences. You or your medical practice may be forced to pay thousands or even millions of dollars in damages to the person who filed the lawsuit against you. You may even be subject to thousands of dollars in fines or sentenced to several years in jail in certain, extreme circumstances.

Take your Medicaid fraud lawsuit seriously right from the start.
