These are: Civil Defense Attorneys – Civil defense attorneys represent health care providers in fraud matters involving insurance companies, benefit managers, and other private parties. State Defense Attorneys – State defense attorneys represent health care providers in matters involving state agencies such as state attorney general’s offices and Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCUs). Federal Defense Attorneys – Federal defense attorneys represent health care providers in matters involving Medicare, Tricare, and the DOL and VA health care benefit programs. This includes investigations as well as civil and criminal law enforcement cases.

Experienced Consultants for Healthcare Providers in DEA Matters

 For most healthcare providers, their first interaction with the DEA comes during the DEA registration process. All providers that deal in prescription medications, including prescribing medications to patients, dispensing prescribed medications, and administering medications in an inpatient setting, are subject to mandatory registration with the DEA. For some providers, the DEA registration process can be fairly straightforward. But, for others, it can involve denials, “show cause” orders, and hearings – and, in some cases, it can even trigger licensing action or a federal investigation. Our healthcare fraud defense team includes attorneys with decades of experience in private healthcare law practice as well a significant previous experience at high levels in the DOJ. As a result, we are able to approach our clients’ DEA matters from all angles and develop comprehensive strategies focused on addressing the issues that matter most to the federal government.

Since the SEC Enforcement Division’s decision to issue a Wells notice reflects a preliminary determination to recommend enforcement action, issuance generally comes well into the investigative process. When this is the case, the recipient must make its own determination about whether disclosing information is in its best interests—or whether a more defensive stance is necessary. A careful analysis of the contents of the Wells notice will be crucial for determining how to respond. This includes a legal review of: The specific charges the SEC Enforcement Division is recommending The limitations established for the Wells notice
