Main Volume Information

Written by two experienced litigators, Prosecuting and Defending Health Care Fraud Cases, Second Edition is the only book of its kind that covers the subject of health care fraud from two distinct angles: the applicable law and the federal criminal process. This comprehensive treatise is invaluable for its analysis of trials conducted in a variety of cases, with chapters structured to match the process as it actually takes place during the investigation, after charges are brought, and through sentencing. It presents possible charges, investigative tools, proven trial strategies for both prosecution and defense, considerations for settlement of a prosecution or civil suit, and factors applicable in sentencing.

Lawyers and litigators will appreciate the treatise’s thorough review of all aspects of the federal health care law, analysis of changes to the anti-kickback statute, discussion of transparency requirements for drug and device companies, overview of new subpoena authorities and new rules on exclusion and penalties, and discussion of other important and timely health care fraud issues.
