The healthcare industry is perhaps the fastest growing industry in our nation. Because it has to do with people’s health, it’s highly regulated, so It stands to reason that it also has the most new laws associated with it.

If you’re in need of a defense attorney, be sure to consult with an experienced health care law firm. Let’s take a look at a few of the situations you might find yourself in and how the prosecution might respond:

Situation 1: The Laws Might Have Changed

How much time would you spend if you read every email that came into your inbox? What if you read the fine print in every law journal? If you attended every conference about “The Changing Healthcare System And You.” You’d have an 80 hour a week job before you interacted with the first patient.

You’re probably kept abreast of the big changes, the ones that might even make the news. But the laws are changing so quickly…

How the prosecution might react: They won’t care. The laws are there, no matter how obscure or how fine the print. In fact, the smallest infractions are the ones easiest to stack against you. As fast as you can find the right defense lawyer.

Situation 2: You might not have done anything wrong

Audits occur all the time, and you’ll probably assist in every way possible if that’s part of your job.

But what if it’s the auditor’s first day on the job? If they think you’ve done something wrong they can bring up charges against you, even if you’re in the right.

How the prosecution might react: The prosecution might be interpreting the laws incorrectly as well, so when it’s time to present your case to the judge you’ll need an experienced health care law firm to get you through the legal system.

Situation 3: You might have intentionally done something wrong

If everyone who cut corners or fudged paperwork were in jail, there wouldn’t be anyone left. Just because you’ve done something wrong doesn’t mean you have given up your rights to a proper trial while being defended by an experienced defense attorney.

How the prosecution might react: They will go for the throat. They want you to pay. We want you to suffer as little as possible.
