When the Government Comes Knocking: Best Practices in Government Investigations From Both Sides of the Aisle

Faegre Drinker Partners Isaac Willett and Jesse Witten served as panelists for a session on government investigations at the Healthcare Law & Compliance Institute. The commitment to holding health care providers accountable for fraud and abuse continues to be a top priority of the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services. Considering the government’s continued enforcement efforts to combat health care fraud, it is imperative that providers continue to focus on compliance and be prepared to effectively respond to requests from regulators should an investigation arise. Isaac, Jesse and their fellow panelist shared valuable insights into the best practices for responding to and managing investigations when the government comes knocking.
