Benjamin Scher discusses medicare fraud trial acquittal at Healthcare Litigation, Compliance, and Investigations Forum

Compliance, litigation, and investigation risks are not slowing down in the healthcare space. For practitioners to navigate what’s happening now and coming next, high-impact legal and regulatory insights are key. Partner Benjamin Scher will share his expertise in the 2025 Healthcare Litigation, Compliance, and Investigations Forum, speaking in the breakout session, “Lessons learned from a Medicare fraud trial acquittal.”

The session aims to unpack a rare DOJ criminal case involving alleged Medicare Advantage risk-adjustment upcoding. Mr. Scher, the data expert, and his fellow speaker, the defense counsel, will examine the flawed theories that the prosecution relied on and how the defense won a complete acquittal. The speakers will also highlight key takeaways for legal and compliance teams around claims data, coding practices, and responding to aggressive enforcement tactics.
