Health care fraud expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds as physicians, legal nurse consultants, medical billing professionals, and may have experience in the healthcare insurance industry or health law. A damages expert, CPA, or forensic accounting professional may also be called in to assist. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, the lead attorney may request a professional with prior expert testimony experience.
The term health care, or healthcare, covers the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, or cure of mental and physical issues of a patient or group of people. Healthcare fraud encompasses health insurance fraud, drug fraud, and medical fraud. Damages from fraud can be recovered under the False Claims Act, most often under the qui tam provisions which rewards individuals for being “whistleblowers.” Fraudulent medical practice, also known as “quackery,” includes activities such as questionable diagnoses, questionable diagnostic tests, and untested or refuted treatments.
