Michigan Criminal Defense Lawyers
As the cost of health care rises and the political debate over it increases, state and federal government investigations into allegations of fraud and abuse have become more aggressive.

The health care fraud lawyers at Willey & Chamberlain have the experience and judgment you need. Contact us today to discuss how we can put our years of shared experience to work for you.
Health care fraud typically involves fraudulent schemes to make illegal gains from insurance carriers, including government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. It may involve overcharging for services, charging for services not rendered or furnishing unnecessary medical care simply for financial gain. Even the most routine billing errors may cause an investigation leading to allegations of fraud. The government aggressively pursues these types of allegations, and many unsuspecting people get caught up in the investigation.
Facilities for the young, aged, and disabled, such as nursing homes and adult foster care facilities, can become the focus of allegations of fraud, including allegations of vulnerable adult abuse, elder abuse, child abuse or child neglect, and billing fraud.
The targets of these investigations may include anyone in the health care field:
- Doctors and Physicians
- Dentists
- Chiropractors
- Nurses
- Medical Equipment Suppliers
- Pharmaceutical Companies
- Laboratories x Hospitals and Clinics
- Nursing Homes and other Facilities
- Patients
