The Firmen Group, LLC was founded by Richard Bays, JD, MBA, RN, CPHQ. One of the primary missions of the firm is to aid in navigating the complex regulatory requirements of the healthcare industry.

Within the labyrinth of healthcare regulations, Medicare Fraud and Abuse continues to be a growing concern to the federal government and taxpayers. CMS estimated that approximately $65 billion in improper payments was paid through Medicare and Medicaid combined in a recent fiscal year. These issues are frequently tied to malpractice which results in grave harm to the patient population. One of the firm’s focus areas is assisting in the reduction of health care costs and improving the quality of care by preventing fraudsters from preying on people with Medicare and Medicaid. Mr. Bays has provided litigation support for State & Medicare violations which has resulted in settlements reaching multimillion dollar recoveries and effecting improvements to a safer delivery of care for patients seeking treatment.
