Insurance Fraud

Birmingham, Alabama Insurance Fraud Lawyers

Insurance fraud involves knowingly and intentionally reporting false information in order to collect payment or reimbursement from an insurer. In the healthcare system, healthcare providers must use either the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes or the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) when billing Medicaid or insurance providers.

Unfortunately, both are confusing and easily lend themselves to mistakes. If a doctor continues to use the wrong code, investigators may take his or her mistake for a pattern indicative of insurance fraud. Property damage and injuries due to fire or accidents may arouse suspicion of insurance investigators. They may believe information has been falsified or withheld. At the law office of Yearout & Traylor, our attorneys defend doctors, businesses, and injury victims accused of insurance fraud. When necessary, we consult expert fire investigators, medical doctors, and claims adjusters in preparing and presenting our cases.
