Medicare is a federal healthcare program that benefits individuals who are over 65 or disabled. “Part A” of the program covers certain eligible home healthcare costs for medical services provided by a home healthcare agency (HHA) to beneficiaries requiring home health services because of an illness or disability causing them to be homebound. Home Healthcare Agencies that provide services to Medicare beneficiaries can file claims with Medicare to obtain payment or reimbursement for lawfully provided services.

Some Home Healthcare Programs engage in fraud. Indeed, most home healthcare programs do not provide legitimate home healthcare to homebound individuals.

I have defended many clients who have been investigated or charged with Home Healthcare fraud. These are very serious federal charges, and they must be taken seriously. The key to victory, in any case, is preparation and hard work. If you are under investigation or charged with home healthcare fraud and want me to represent you in federal court, call me at 713-655-7400.
