Being Charged With Health Care Fraud in Texas
Here’s a few things that you need to know as a physician whose learned that they’re charged with health care fraud.
The first thing is there’s been a health care fraud task force in the State of Texas and specifically in the Houston area for a couple of years now. They’ve been investigating these cases here in Texas for at least 24 to 36 months.
Second thing you need to know is they have a head start, okay? They’ve been out interviewing witnesses, looking at evidence and forming their own conclusions.
