Cleveland CMS Audit Attorneys
If you are a doctor or other health care professional, or represent a hospital or nursing home, you should have a plan in case you face an investigation.
The federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or a unit of the Ohio Attorney General's office, may be investigating you as you read this. Investigations may be ongoing for months before the target gets wind of it. That is why it is so important to consult with an attorney experienced in investigations, especially before and during an actual investigation. Contact our CMS audit attorneys.
Investigators may play the game of telling individuals or companies that they are not the target of the investigation, thereby procuring documents that are quite damaging to the person or company. Another mistake is to believe that the scope of the investigation is smaller than it is. Cooperating may result in trouble instead of clarifying innocent facts.
