Law Offices of Bukh & Associates are dealing with various problems that healthcare professionals may have. There are several departments in our office that specialize in different fields of law to assist specifically doctors and other healthcare professionals. Thus, our matrimonial counsels can help you with division of professional licenses, professional businesses, business appraisals, etc. Our matrimonial counsels are the winners of multiple motions specifically mentioned in nationwide media and New York Law Journal (links).
Our criminal defense counsel Arkady Bukh is one of the most known attorneys specializing in criminal defense of healthcare professionals ranging from Medicaid fraud and identity theft to unlicensed practice, factoring (creation and sale of fraudulent medical bills that are subject to payment by insurance companies at lower cost), unnecessary procedures and various medical fraud on state and federal level. Examples of medical fraud: false and intentionally misleading statements to patients, submitting false bills or claims for service, falsifying medical records or reports, lying about credentials or qualifications, unnecessary medical treatment or drug prescription. No major media source has missed Mr. Bukh and his practice (links). He has represented hundreds of medical professionals who were indicted (criminal case with the highest bail in the history of the US for a healthcare professional - $33mln.)
We also defend doctors in civil litigation for fraud, unnecessary procedures, factoring, identity theft, overbilling, etc.
Our office has been successfully representing doctors in cases of medical malpractice. Most doctors think that they have malpractice insurance which will cover them in case of litigation. But in reality insurance companies defend their own interests and will not stop a second to trade their financial interest for doctor’s license. They better pay small settlement to Plaintiff and expose doctor to claims of professional misconduct, which eventually ends up in the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC). Examples of medical misconduct include (but are not limited to): practicing fraudulently, practicing with gross incompetence or gross negligence; practicing while impaired by alcohol, drugs, physical or mental disability; being convicted of a crime; filing a false report; guaranteeing that treatment will result in a cure; refusing to provide services because of race, creed, color or national origin; performing services not authorized by the patient; harassing, abusing or intimidating a patient; ordering excessive tests; and abandoning or neglecting a patient in need of immediate care. Our office will assist and work together with insurance carrier. Most doctors in our office realize that our office is inexpensive because major portion of malpractice case is being handled by insurance carrier and our position is targeted specifically to protect from OPMC.
We have many years of very successful work with Medicaid Fraud Unit.
We also handle sale, purchase, buy-ins, partnerships and fraud related to that.
