Las Vegas Doctor Arrested for Medicare Fraud

Just about everyone has had a brush with the law in their lifetimes, even if it is only a parking ticket or a police stop. Sometimes, that brush becomes a more involved case, with charges leveled. No matter what the accusation, it is a terrifying experience to be so accused, and it can be very difficult to determine where to turn. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but a good attorney is still necessary to make sure all rights are respected and observed.

A Las Vegas physician was recently arrested on charges arising from Syracuse, N.Y. He was indicted, along with an employee of his, on charges of Medicare fraud. According to prosecutors, he and his employee falsely submitted claims for reimbursement for medical services that had never been performed. There were also further charges of unlawfully distributing powerful painkillers like oxycodone.
