The client was accused of over-billing Medicare in a ZPIC audit which resulted in an alleged overpayment of over $340,000.00. Mr. Porter was able to prove that Medicare’s contractor violated Federal regulations in its sampling and extrapolation methodologies. The administrative law judge reduced the alleged overpayment down to a few thousand dollars which represented over a 99% reduction on behalf of the client.
• Attorney Porter successfully defended a physician accused by the North Carolina Medical Board of “curb-side” prescribing, “canned / cloned” medical records and whom was accused of “boundary violations” with patients. Mr. Porter’s representation resulted in most of the charges being disproven and dismissed. The physician was able to regain full practice / licensure privileges after meeting minimal conditions.

He defended the bank in third party claims arising out of Purchase & Assumption Agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”), and assisted the bank in their compliance with various Federal regulations and guidelines enforced by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (“OCC”) headquartered in Washington, D.C.
