Client Alert: Federal Pressure on State Medicaid Fraud Units and What It Means for Providers
Healthcare organizations in Virginia and beyond may need to prepare for a period of more aggressive criminal Medicaid enforcement.
Whiteford's Healthcare Law group advises healthcare entities (including managed care companies, hospitals, medical groups, e-health companies, insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers, vision centers, practice management companies, ambulatory centers and other facilities) with respect to legal issues specific to the healthcare industry. Our Healthcare Law Group draws upon the diverse talents of attorneys firm-wide with experience in virtually every aspect of legal practice.
The Healthcare Law Group provides counsel on all aspects of health law ranging from fraud and abuse and corporate practice of medicine to government regulation and privacy. We counsel clients on HIPAA compliance as well as federal and state laws regulating managed care, Medicare and Medicaid. The Group also counsels and represents clients on matters related to compliance with anti-kickback statutes, self-referral legislation (the "Stark Law") and defending against False Claims Act actions. Our attorneys advise healthcare clients with respect to antitrust issues inherent in such matters as preferred provider organizations, joint venture arrangements and mergers and acquisitions.
In addition, the Healthcare Law Group provides guidance to insurance carriers and employers on health benefit plans. Our healthcare attorneys work closely with our Employee Benefits practice group to assist in the design of managed care mechanisms for employers and negotiations with direct contracting providers. Attorneys in the Healthcare Law Group routinely advise with respect to the laws relating to tax-exempt organizations and represent both tax-exempt organizations and for profit healthcare business in all types of business transactions, including, without limitation, joint ventures, mergers, corporate reorganizations, sales of business assets, stock or membership interests and numerous other types of transactions relating to or arising from the integrated delivery systems used to deliver healthcare services to the public.
Healthcare Litigation
Our Healthcare Litigation attorneys provide a wide array of litigation and consultative services to hospitals, pharmacy networks, physicians, dentists, HMOs, physician practice groups, nurses, mental health counselors, and nursing homes. These attorneys have defended practitioners, hospitals and healthcare groups in lawsuits before the Maryland Health Claims Arbitration Office and the federal and state trial courts throughout Maryland and the District of Columbia. The cases we are able to handle involve all healthcare specialties, including obstetrics and gynecology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, cardiothoracic surgery, transplant surgery, psychiatry, ophthalmology, oncology, radiology, urology, pathology, oral surgery, periodontics, prosthodontics, nursing, geriatric care, and physical therapy.
In addition, we provide risk management counseling services to clients. These services include lectures, mock trials, and other presentations to insurance carriers and individual insureds as well as to hospital risk managers and departments and hospital medical staffs.
Our attorneys also represent physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in credentialing disputes and investigations and disciplinary actions before specialty boards. Our attorneys often are asked to assist physician groups and hospitals in formulating policies regarding retention and disclosure of medical records and other office practices that affect the potential risk/liability of the provider.

Client Alert: 2026 Health Care Fraud Takedown Includes Virginia and a Renewed Focus on Medicaid Cases
On June 23, 2026, the Department of Justice announced the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which it described as the largest coordinated health care fraud enforcement action in its history. The aggregate figures are substantial: charges against 455 defendants, including roughly 90 doctors and other licensed professionals, tied to more than $6.5 billion in allegedly false claims. The action spanned 56 federal districts and 45 states and territories and, notably, drew the participation of 50 state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, which is the most the Department has ever assembled for a single takedown.

Client Alert: Fourth Circuit Reverses Medicaid Fraud Convictions in U.S. v. Davis: A Reminder That Pattern Evidence Is Not a Substitute for Count-Specific Proof
Case Summary
In an unpublished opinion issued April 24, 2026, a divided Fourth Circuit panel reversed two convictions under 18 U.S.C. § 1347, holding that evidence of a generally questionable billing practice could not, on its own, establish that the specific claims charged in the indictment were false.Client Alert: Fourth Circuit Reverses Medicaid Fraud Convictions in U.S. v.

As employees approach age 65, it is important to provide them with clear, neutral information about their health coverage options—specifically, the choice between remaining on a company’s group health plan or enrolling in Medicare. The last quarter aligns with Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (October 15–December 7) and employer open enrollment. This is the right time to provide compliant, neutral materials and host educational sessions. Position the communications as balanced guidance, not a cost-savings initiative tied to older employees’ coverage decisions. Below is a summary of compliance requirements and best practices to help companies navigate this process while avoiding legal pitfalls.

Client Alert: 2025 Legislative Changes for CCRCs
House Bill 938 was passed in the Maryland legislature and signed by the Governor into law on May 6, 2025. This bill requires the appointment of an alternate subscriber (resident) to the governing body of a continuing care provider that has only one subscriber (resident) on the governing body. It also authorizes the alternate member to attend all meetings of the governing body, and to vote only if the regular subscriber (resident) is unable to fulfill the subscriber's (resident’s) duties as a regular member of the governing body. The provider shall confer with the Resident Association before the alternate subscriber (resident) joins the governing body, and the alternate subscriber (resident) may report on nonconfidential matters, policies, deliberations, and actions of the governing body to the Resident Association in the same way as the current subscriber/resident who is on the governing body. This law becomes effective on January 1, 2026.

Client Alert: The End of Chevron Bias: A Tombstone No Federally Regulated Company Should Miss
For companies whose operations are subject to strict federal regulations – and particularly those that are facing or may be facing enforcement actions – take note. The U.S. Supreme Court may have just leveled the playing field. On Friday, June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court overturned a long-standing legal precedent that instructed courts to defer to federal agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous laws they administer. Instead, federal laws will be interpreted by the courts. Federal agencies will need to prove their cases, including enforcement actions where an arguably ambiguous statute is at issue. This is good news for businesses in the U.S.

Client Alert: The Sixth Circuit Deepens the Split on False Claims Act Actions Based on the Anti-Kickback Statute
In its recent ruling in U.S. v. Hathaway, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals provided additional authority that will be welcome to parties defending False Claims Act (“FCA”) matters based on the Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”).
The Court addressed two key points. First, it held that a violation of the AKS must be based on the payment of money or actual transfer of something of value. Second, it held that to prove a violation of the FCA, a relator must demonstrate but-for causation. In doing so, the Sixth Circuit has added another defendant-friendly ruling to the existing, and perhaps growing, circuit split.
