Federal Investigation Preparation for Physicians and Healthcare Owners

Separate the roles you held

A person can be a treating clinician, medical director, investor and manager at different times. Identify each role, its dates, contractual basis and actual duties. Ownership percentage alone does not describe day-to-day activity. A professional title alone does not establish what information you received or what decisions you made.

Map who controlled the relevant decisions

Identify the approval process for billing, hiring, vendor selection, referrals, payments and compliance issues. Distinguish written policy from actual practice. Use contracts, meeting records and documented communications where available. Flag uncertain recollections. Counsel evaluates the legal significance of authority and conduct.

Respect the boundary between clinical and personal records

Do not place patient charts in an ordinary personal biography file or upload them through a general inquiry form. Counsel should coordinate access, privacy protections and qualified clinical review. Your individual chronology can identify categories of records and their custodians without unnecessarily reproducing sensitive patient information.

Document business continuity without implying unrestricted practice

Identify confirmed restrictions and obtain appropriate professional advice before making assumptions about future clinical work. Practical planning can address authorized administration, payroll responsibilities, household finances and dependent care. Keep proposed arrangements separate from signed agreements and current permissions.

Explain your preparation needs clearly

For a private case review, provide your role, current stage, next deadline and whether counsel is involved. SAG can define a professional-history chronology, supporting-record index and personal preparation schedule. It cannot decide whether clinical care was appropriate, negotiate a legal resolution or guarantee continued licensure.
