Protecting Your Rights In An Investigation

The investigation process for a pharmacy or pharmacist often starts with a civil investigative demand, subpoena or raid from the government. No matter the situation, our skilled lawyers can help you through this difficult experience. Pharmacies and pharmacists should not discuss the details of their case with law enforcement or investigators without an attorney present. A knowledgeable lawyer can help communicate on your behalf and help you protect your case.

These pharmacy investigations and audits are regularly conducted by law enforcement and regulatory agencies. A few common entities that investigate pharmacies and pharmacists include the FBI, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit or by Zone Program Integrity Contractors (ZPIC). These agencies have significant power to seize your records and investigate your business while looking for fraud or abuse.

One common issue that pharmacies face when under investigation is that they may have vital records or property seized by investigators. We can help you reclaim any property that was seized during an audit so that you can run your business while the investigation continues.

Avoiding Legal Problems With Experienced Help

In addition to helping businesses handle urgent legal problems, such as an investigation, we also help clients prevent future regulatory issues. Our attorneys assist our health care clients in establishing and running their businesses under the law. We help health pharmacies and pharmacists with many types of legal matters, including matters involving initial licensing, legal compliance, billing matters, audit and claim defense.
