Medicare Fraud Investigation Raid Response Form

When federal agents arrive at your healthcare facility for a Medicare fraud investigation, every minute counts. This Medicare Fraud Investigation Raid Response Form provides healthcare administrators with a structured, professional system for documenting the incident, coordinating with the Office of Inspector General (OIG), engaging legal representation, and maintaining patient care continuity during one of the most critical situations a provider can face.

Designed specifically for hospitals, medical practices, healthcare systems, and specialty clinics, this template helps you capture essential information about the enforcement action—including which agencies are involved, what documentation is being seized, which staff members are present, and what immediate actions need to be taken to protect both your legal position and your patients' wellbeing.

The form guides you through critical early decisions: notifying your legal counsel, documenting all interactions with investigators, securing protected health information, maintaining operations during the investigation, and establishing a communication protocol for staff, patients, and stakeholders. By systematically collecting this information in real-time, you create a contemporaneous record that will be invaluable to your defense team while ensuring compliance obligations are met.

Beyond immediate crisis response, this form helps healthcare providers maintain business continuity by addressing patient care transitions, staff coordination, media management, and regulatory reporting requirements. The structured approach reduces panic, ensures nothing is overlooked, and demonstrates your organization's commitment to cooperation and transparency.

Once submitted, you can use Stepper to automatically notify your legal team, compliance officers, and key stakeholders, trigger your incident response protocol, and create task lists for your crisis management team. This ensures the right people are informed immediately and appropriate protective measures are implemented without delay.

Whether you're a healthcare administrator, compliance officer, medical practice manager, or legal counsel for a healthcare organization, this template provides the framework you need to navigate federal enforcement actions with professionalism and strategic clarity. Protect your practice, your patients, and your legal rights with a documented, systematic response.
