Khouri Law has given their best in representing over 500 Healthcare Providers in the last 35 years
* Michael Khouri recently gained a favorable decision in a Medicare Administrative Hearing for a Riverside County based physician whose Medicare Provider Number had been misappropriated and used by third-parties to fraudulently bill for Medicare services without the physician’s consent or knowledge. Medicare sought recovery of an alleged $438,000 overpayment. Michael successfully argued that his client was without fault in causing the overpayment and, therefore, should not have been held financially liable for the other parties wrongdoing in defrauding Medicare. As a result of Mr. Khouri’s vigorous defense, his client was relieved of all liability for the overpayment.
* Mike Khouri obtained dismissal of multiple Medicare fraud charges against an Orange County based internist. The charges were based on the doctor’s alleged failure to comply with Medicare’s so called direct supervision requirement.

After such a jury split in favor of acquittal the federal prosecutors dismissed all charges against Mike’s client.
