If you’re a healthcare provider in Las Vegas — whether a physician, hospital executive, billing company, or pharmaceutical CEO — and you’ve received a target letter, subpoena, or are under federal investigation, the situation is serious. You may be facing allegations under complex federal laws including the False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, or 18 U.S.C. § 1347 for healthcare fraud.
These are not local matters. These are federal criminal charges. Prosecutors from the Department of Justice (DOJ), OIG, and HHS will aggressively pursue convictions with devastating civil and criminal penalties.
Before speaking to federal agents or submitting records, contact a Las Vegas healthcare fraud criminal defense lawyer experienced in federal litigation.
Why the Government Targets Las Vegas Healthcare Providers
Las Vegas Nevada is one of the top cities in the U.S. for DOJ healthcare fraud enforcement. Why? Because of its high volume of Medicare and Medicaid claims, vast medical networks, and diverse provider ecosystem. Federal agencies have dedicated task forces here, and they are not just investigating billing errors—they are building criminal cases.
You may be targeted for:
-
Alleged Medicare billing fraud
-
Suspicion of kickback arrangements
-
Self-referrals in violation of Stark Law
-
False claims involving DME, hospice, home health, or behavioral health services
-
Questionable medical necessity of procedures or prescriptions
-
Use of unlicensed staff or excluded individuals

Common Legal Issues We Handle
Our firm defends federal healthcare clients nationwide. We regularly handle:
1. False Claims Act Violations
Billing Medicare or Medicaid for services not rendered, or upcoding services, may trigger FCA liability—even without intent to defraud.
2. Anti-Kickback Statute Allegations
Payment arrangements for referrals, even in the form of consulting fees or rent agreements, can lead to federal charges if not properly structured under Safe Harbor laws.
3. Stark Law (Self-Referral Violations)
Referral relationships involving imaging centers, labs, or therapy practices that lack a valid Stark Law exception can invalidate claims and expose you to both civil and criminal action.
4. Medical Billing Fraud Allegations
Being accused of manipulating CPT codes or misrepresenting services puts billing companies, clinics, and individual practitioners at high risk of indictment. If you’re a medical billing fraud lawyer, auditor, or compliance officer, this affects you directly.
What Should You Do If You’re Contacted by Federal Agents?
Do NOT speak to agents or investigators alone.
Do NOT provide documents or emails without legal counsel.
Do NOT attempt to “explain” the situation to prosecutors.
Retain a healthcare defense attorney who understands how these federal investigations operate, and who can immediately protect your rights and mount a pre-indictment strategy.
