Medical criminal law

Medical criminal law has undergone considerable change in recent years. Whereas the focus used to be on allegations of bodily injury or negligent homicide in the context of medical treatment, it is now increasingly focussing on billing issues in the relationship between the doctor and statutory health insurance companies.

The risks here are almost always existence-threatening, because even formal errors in billing can lead to criminal liability for billing fraud and the reclaiming of all affected fees in full. There is also the threat of licence revocation as a consequence of the criminal proceedings.

In defence, the dovetailing of criminal law and medical law is of decisive importance for success. Our many years of experience allow us to recognise pitfalls at an early stage. In addition, our network guarantees access to recognised experts in the field of medical law in the event that special issues arise.
