Why
Compliance?
With increasing
frequency, the government is finding fault with billing and coding practices,
often costing physicians thousands of dollars in overpayments, interest and
penalties. The news media abounds with stories of physicians being sued, or
criminally indicted, for allegedly committing fraud, waste or abuse. Recoveries
in the millions of dollars are being received by whistleblowers in qui tam actions,
which encourage new whistleblowers seeking a quick payoff. Commercial payers
are now following the government's lead and conducting billing audits and, after
applying the same rules as Medicare, including extrapolation, are seeking substantial
repayments from physician practices.
Why

assembled a diverse and highly qualified team of professionals with a proven
track record in health care compliance. Led by Ann Curran, Esq. focusing on
