Description: This dynamic, litigation-focused class offers a deep dive into defending federal health care fraud cases – one of the top enforcement strategies for the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2025. Designed for attorneys practicing in the health care, white collar defense, or regulatory compliance fields, this provides practical guidance and critical insights into navigating complex federal investigations and prosecutions.
The class opens with an overview of the DOJ’s 2025 “National Health Care Fraud Takedown,” spotlighting emerging priorities such as telehealth abuse, fraudulent laboratory testing schemes, and DOJ’s increasing focus on prosecuting medical professionals. These trends set the stage for a detailed walkthrough of how health care fraud cases are built and pursued at the federal level.
Led by a panel of distinguished former prosecutors from the DOJ’s Health Care Fraud Unit, this class takes you through the full lifecycle of a federal investigation – from whistleblower tips and advanced data analytics to civil proceedings and criminal indictments. You will gain firsthand insights into how Medicare billing systems are scrutinized, key regulatory frameworks that govern health care reimbursement, DOJ’s evolving “red flags” and prosecutorial strategies, and tactical considerations when defending these cases at trial.
This class is designed for practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding and sharpen their litigation strategies in one of the DOJ’s most sophisticated and aggressively pursued enforcement areas.
