How the Northern District Targets Suburban Markets Like Cedar Hill

The Healthcare Strike Force runs CMS billing data analytics before investigators ever make contact with your practice. What triggers that review:

• A single physician signing high-volume home health certifications
• Agencies submitting consistent diagnosis codes across unrelated patients
• Payment flows running between referring providers and home health agencies

In the 2025 national healthcare fraud takedown, the Northern District charged multiple Dallas-area defendants with hundreds of millions in fraudulent billing, including OTC COVID testing kickbacks and a large-scale EEG fraud scheme. Every case started with data, not a complaint.

When an inquiry reaches you, we assess exactly what the government has and structure your response immediately. Every document you produce and every statement you make to federal investigators enters the evidentiary record.

DME and Lab Compliance in the Best Southwest Corridor

Cedar Hill’s residential growth pulled durable medical equipment suppliers and diagnostic service providers into the Best Southwest market. Most operators who entered this area never formally addressed their compliance obligations and that gap creates serious risk.

For DME Suppliers

• You must maintain physician orders, medical necessity documentation and delivery confirmation for every claim you submit
• Any payment to a referral source for directing DME business violates the Anti-Kickback Statute regardless of how you label or structure it

For Lab Operators

• The Northern District has charged lab owners for billing Medicare for genetic testing never ordered or performed
• Physician ownership arrangements that condition ownership on referral volume create Stark Law violations on top of Anti-Kickback exposure

Our Medicare fraud defense practice covers both proactive compliance structuring and active federal defense for DME and lab operators across this jurisdiction.

What You Get From Dike Law Group

Federal investigations rarely follow a single legal track. A home health fraud inquiry can trigger physician certification review, board complaints against licensed nurses and employment disputes involving former staff, often within weeks of each other.

You need one legal team with visibility across all of it.

Doris Dike holds a first degree in health administration, co-owns a healthcare business with her physician spouse and spent years as a hospital Chief Legal Officer before building this firm. That background covers both the legal framework and the operational realities behind how these matters actually develop.

When you bring your fraud defense, licensing matters and compliance questions here, every connected issue gets handled under one legal approach, not separate counsel managing disconnected pieces without the full picture.

We serve providers across Texas, Indiana and California.
