DOJ filed criminal charges against 193 defendants, including 76 medical professionals for telemedicine violation. This alarming crackdown reveals the vulnerabilities within telemedicine, as illegal kickbacks and brief consultations have led to significant fraud, particularly in Medicare claims.
Among the troubling cases highlighted, one psychiatrist was accused of billing for telehealth visits lasting only 10 to 30 seconds, falsely classified as legitimate patient consultations. The DOJ’s focus on these practices serves as a critical reminder that telehealth providers must adhere to stringent federal and state regulations to avoid legal repercussions, including criminal charges and loss of medical licenses.
Healthcare practitioners are urged to ensure their telehealth practices are not only clinically sound but also compliant with legal standards. For those in the telehealth space, seeking legal guidance is paramount to safeguarding their practices and upholding patient care standards. The Kulkarni Law Firm is available to assist healthcare professionals in navigating these challenges and avoiding potential fraud schemes.
