WASHINGTON, DC — Nightingale's Healthcare News has named Lisa Estrada one of the “Outstanding Healthcare Fraud & Compliance Lawyers of 2010.” Lisa is one of only 10 lawyers nationwide to be recognized with this honor.  

In a Special Report, Nightingale's noted that while representing a hospice organization facing a multi-faceted fraud and abuse challenge, Lisa devised an “innovative response in a newly exposed area of fraud defense, requiring extensive education of the U.S. Attorney's office in the factual realities of end-of-life-care.”

Lisa's health law practice focuses on representing institutional health care providers and suppliers in government enforcement actions, investigations and litigation under the False Claims Act. She represents clients in investigations initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorneys offices, state attorneys general and state Medicaid Fraud Control Units. Lisa also regularly counsels health care clients regarding day-to-day compliance issues, including relationships with referral sources, voluntary disclosures and billing and coding issues.
