Operation Brace Yourself, Part One: Advising DME Clients

Operation Brace Yourself, a massive 2019 Department of Justice operation involving the durable medical equipment (DME) industry, was one of the largest health fraud enforcement actions in history and had major legal and compliance repercussions for DME companies. In this two-part series, Stephen Lee, Solo Practitioner, Law Office of Stephen Chahn Lee, recounts the true story of two DME owners who unwittingly found themselves in the crosshairs of this massive government enforcement action. 

In part one, Stephen speaks with Michael Silverman, Lawyer, Silverman Bain LLP, and Noel Neil, Chief Compliance Officer, ACU-Serve Corp, who both advised the owners and recommended stopping operations. Michael and Noel discuss how they advised the owners amid increased government scrutiny of the DME industry and also provide practical tips and guidance on how to communicate complex legal issues to clients.
